DATE: April 22, 2026 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: ADOPT A POLICY TO MEMORIALIZE COUNCIL’S PAST PRACTICE AND
ESTABLISH REQUISITES FOR CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS
TO CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AND PROCEDURES FOR
MAKING APPOINTMENTS
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Brenda Pree, City Clerk
SUMMARY:
In 1996, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18804, which established the procedures for considering appointments to City Boards and Commissions. The City Council has used an alternate method to enhance and streamline this process; however, the City Council has not formally considered the adoption of a policy that is reflective of the City Council’s past practice and preference. The proposed resolution (Attachment A) seeks to formalize these procedures in line with past practices. The proposed resolution would supersede Resolution No. 18804.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR
CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS TO CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, AND
PROCEDURES FOR MAKING APPOINTMENTS THERETO, AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 18804.”
BACKGROUND:
Government Code Section 54952 (b) defines a legislative body as “A commission, committee, board, or other body of a local agency, whether permanent or temporary, decision-making or advisory, created by charter, ordinance, resolution, or formal action of a legislative body.” The current resolution ( Resolution No. 18804) provides that the policy governing boards and commissions is applicable to all boards, commissions, and committees established through ordinance, resolution, or any official action taken by the City Council.

City Council Staff Report
April 22, 2026 -- Page 2
Consideration of Appointments to City Boards and Commissions Resolution No. 18804, adopted prior to the Charter Amendment, delineates the requisites for consideration of appointments to City Boards and Commissions. That process is listed below:
1. The Mayor shall appoint Council subcommittees, each consisting of the Mayor and one alternative Councilmember, to screen applications for all boards, commissions, and committees.
2. The City Clerk shall compile and distribute to the City Council a list of all qualified applicants as determined by the subcommittees.
3. Any Councilmember may add the name of one other person filing an application to the list by informing the City Clerk.
4. The City Clerk shall schedule interviews with the full City Council of all finalists for each City board and commission. The Chair of each commission shall be invited to the interviews.
The alternate method, as outlined in the new policy (Attachment A), the City Council’s past practice and preference, employed to enhance the efficiency of the appointment process, is outlined below:
1. At an open and public meeting, the City Council, as a whole, conducts interviews and appoints applicants who applied to serve on the Historic Site Preservation Board, Measure “J” Oversight Commission, and the Planning Commission. a. In 2025, the City Council opted to require full City Council interviews for applicants who applied to serve on the Human Rights Commission. (The new policy requires full council interviews for Human Rights Commission applicants.)
2. The City Council appoints a two-member Boards and Commissions Ad Hoc Subcommittee, comprised of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, to screen applications and interview applicants who applied to serve on boards and commissions not requiring full Council interviews, to determine qualified applicants.
3. After reaching consensus, the subcommittee submits to the City Clerk a list of recommended qualified applicants for full City Council consideration and appointment.
The Office of the City Clerk drafts a City Council staff report to facilitate the appointment of applicants recommended by the subcommittee.
The policy (Attachment A) also covers other matters, such as the criteria for selection, schedule, notice of availability, basic procedures for making appointments, application requirements, conflicts, schedule, and alternate language, some of which have since been chaptered and codified in the city’s municipal code of ordinances:
Article VI: Appointive Boards and Commissions
Chapter 2.06: Boards and Commissions—General Provisions
C – Page 24 of 381
City Council Staff Report
April 22, 2026 -- Page 3
Consideration of Appointments to City Boards and Commissions The policy applies to all boards, commissions, and committees established through ordinance, resolution, or any official action taken by the City Council. Consequently, for purposes of the Brown Act, the Architectural Review Committee (“ARC”) is a legislative body. Additionally, staff intends to clarify that the ARC, whose members are appointed by the Planning Commission rather than the City Council, shall be subject to the policy that outlines requisites for consideration of appointments to City boards and commissions, and procedures for making appointments.
This clarification and the updated policy aim to enhance understanding and ensure adherence to the necessary guidelines, in addition to memorializing the City Council’s past practice and preference, formally updating the process, and rescinding Resolution No. 18804.
Alternate Members:
For reference, the City Council has previously established two categories of members for the City’s boards and commissions: “alternate” members and “non-voting” members.
Alternate members possess the ability to vote on matters when regular members are unavailable, whereas non-voting members may participate in commission meetings without voting privileges.
When voting member vacancies arise, alternate members oftentimes express interest in being promoted to voting members. To facilitate this potential transition, staff has developed and clarified the procedure by which the City Council may consider promoting alternate members to voting members when vacancies among voting members arise.
In the event of a voting member’s vacancy, an alternate member who wishes to become a voting member may request to advance into the vacant voting member’s position by filing a new commission application, following the publication of a notice of recruitment for the vacant voting member’s position.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

BY: Engineering Services Department
SUMMARY:

Formal City Council acceptance of the Project is required to document the completion of public works improvements and to allow the City’s filing of a Notice of Completion with the Riverside County Recorder in accordance with Section 9200 of the California Civil Code.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept the public works improvement identified as 2025 Slurry Seal, City Project No. 25-02, as completed in accordance with the plans and specifications; and
2. Authorize the City Engineer to execute and file for recordation with the Riverside County Recorder a Notice of Completion for the 2025 Slurry Seal Project, City Project No. 25-02.
BACKGROUND:
On September 25, 2025, the City Council awarded construction contracts in the amount of $1,855,006.45 to American Asphalt South, Inc.; $175,000 to Dudek, Inc. (Construction Management with material inspections); and $8,500 to The Solis Group (Work Force Agreement administrator) for the Project.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Construction of the Project started on November 3, 2025, and was determined to be substantially completed on February 17, 2026.

Acceptance of 2025 Slurry Seal, City Project 25-02
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15301 “Existing Facilities”, Class 1 projects consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Therefore, Staff has determined that 2025 Slurry Seal, City Project No. 25-02, is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This item aligns with the following City Council Strategic Plan Broad Goal: Infrastructure and Facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The original contract amount was $1,855,006.45. During construction, there were line items that were not fully used for the Project. As a result, there is an overall project savings of $254,690.68. The final balancing change order is included as Attachment B.
The City is holding retention funds in the amount of $80,015.79 for the Contractor pending acceptance of improvements and filing the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder’s Office.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 22, 2026 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 23P173 WITH KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES,
INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $60,000 FOR THE DEMUTH PARK
PICKLEBALL COURT EXPANSION, CITY PROJECT NO. 22-24
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Engineering Services Department
SUMMARY:
Approval of Amendment No. 3 to Professional Services Agreement No. 23P173 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) is requested for an increase in the number of hours needed for additional construction support for the Demuth Park Pickleball Expansion, City Project No. 22-24, (the “Project”).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 3 to Professional Services Agreement No. 23P173 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in the amount of $60,000, for a new not-to- exceed amount of $468,195 for the Demuth Park Pickleball Expansion, City Project No. 22-24; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
A copy of Kimley-Horn’s Public Integrity Disclosure Form is included as Attachment A.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s twelve (12) existing pickleball courts are located at Demuth Park at 4375 E.
Mesquite Avenue, Palm Springs. The courts are highly utilized year-round and provide a free health and wellness recreational amenity for the community. The Parks & Recreation Commission and members of the pickleball community mutually agreed that there was a need to increase the number of courts available in Palm Springs to better meet the high demand of players in the growing pickleball community, as well as create a cohesive design and better-functioning recreational amenity. An exhibit of the Project is shown in

Figure 1 below.
Figure 1 – Project Exhibit
On July 24, 2023, City Council awarded Professional Services Agreement No. 23P173 to Kimley-Horn in the amount of $161,395 for design services needed for the Demuth Park Pickleball Expansion, City Project No. 22-24. Upon award of the contract and Project commencement, Kimley-Horn began working with Staff, the Parks & Recreation Commission, the Pickleball Ad-Hoc Group of the Parks & Recreation Commission, the community, and stakeholders to help conceive a conceptual plan for increasing the number of pickleball courts at Demuth Park, with the goal of creating a concept that reflected the needs of the sport. Subsequently, Purchase Order No. 24000299 was created in the amount of $161,395 comprised of funding equally split between Measure J Funds and Quimby Funds.
On June 27, 2024, City Council approved Kimley-Horn Amendment No.1 to Professional Services Agreement No.23P173 in the amount of $100,000, which was needed to cover additional project meetings, community engagement, and site research to develop a conceptual design for the Project for presenting to the Parks & Recreation Commission.
On February 13, 2025, the City Council approved the plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate for the Project and authorized Staff to advertise and solicit bids. Also approved

was Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $146,800, for a new not-to-exceed amount of $408,195. This amendment covered the additional civil engineering services, construction administration services, project meetings, and utility coordination.
On February 18, 2025, the Project initially went out to bid with a closing date of April 14th.
Upon opening bids, the lowest responsive bid was substantially higher than the Project budget. As a result, City Council subsequently approved Staff’s recommendation of rejecting all bids, reassessing the Project, and rebidding at a later date.
On June 17, 2025, the Project went out to bid for a second time with a closing date of July 9th. With the Project being split into one primary Bid Schedule (A) and four additive bid schedules (B, C, D, & E), only Bid Schedule A fell within budget and was subsequently awarded on July 21st.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On September 15, 2025, a Notice to Proceed was issued to start construction of the Project. Since then, there have been several unforeseen conflicts discovered within the subsurface such as deteriorating water service lines and unforeseen utilities. This resulted in relocating existing/proposed utility lines, and adjustments to some light pole and shade structure foundations. These unforeseen conditions have also prolonged the construction by an estimated 30 calendar days.
On March 13, 2026, Kimley-Horn submitted a proposal in the amount of $60,000 for the additional support during bidding, Project meetings, and construction support needed due to the prolonged Project schedule. Staff is recommending approval of Amendment No. 3, which is included as Attachment B.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In accordance with Section 15301 "Existing Facilities," Class 1 projects consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. Therefore, in accordance with Section 15301 (c), Staff has determined that the Demuth Park Pickleball Court Expansion Project, City Project No. 22-24, is considered categorically exempt from CEQA and a Notice of Exemption was filed with the Riverside County Clerk.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This item aligns with the following City Council Strategic Plan Broad Goal:

Infrastructure and Facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:

RE: Professional Design Services for Demuth Park Pickleball Expansion Project, City Project No. 22-24
Dear Mr. Gradilla,
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (“Kimley-Horn” or “Consultant”) is pleased to submit this proposal to The City of Palm Springs (“Client”) to provide design Services for the proposed development of the above referenced property (“Project”) in the City of Palm Springs, CA. The project understanding and scope of services outlined below.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is understood that the City of Palm Springs would like to add a minimum of twelve (12) additional pickleball courts to the current pickleball area located in Demuth Park along East Mesquite Avenue and Vella Road.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Kimley-Horn provided post tension structural design for 24 new pickleball courts, prepared for and participated in additional coordination meetings as requested, and submitted final design plans for a $6M facility. The final plan and estimate process warranted another look at our estimated Construction Administration phase services. The items noted above required effort that took us outside the scope of our original agreement dated July 24, 2023, and our project Amendment dated July 27, 2024.
Because of those additional efforts, we worked through an additional project Amendment to cover Structural Post Tension Court Design work, additional coordination and meetings, additional construction administration services, and as-needed services. That amendment, amendment 2, was approved on February 13, 2025.
Since the project’s construction kickoff in August of 2025, the Kimley-Horn team has supported the construction efforts. Significant efforts during this time have included the following:
1. Reformatting the construction plans into five different bid packages:
a. B i d A – Removes two NE courts (Courts 22 – 23), associated lighting, and select shade structures
i. 21 standard/regulation size courts
ii. 1 tournament court
iii. Sod and irrigation to cover the area originally proposed for courts “22” and “23”, up to the sod limit
b. Bid B – Adds back in Courts 22 – 23 including:
i. Court striping and epoxy surfacing
H – Page 89 of 381
kimley-horn.com 36-951 Cook Street, Unit 103, Palm Desert, CA 92211 619 744 0164 ii. Netting and posts
iii. Associated chain link fencing
iv. Court lighting poles
v. Sidewalk and the planter space to the north of the courts + associated landscaping and irrigation
c. Bid C - Lighting for courts 19 – 2, which includes:
i. 5 site ped lighting light poles by the playground area ii. 4 court lighting poles (courts 19-21)
iii. Pull boxes
iv. Conduit
d. Bid D:
i. 2, 32’ x 30’ Shade Structures
ii. 10, 14’ x 22’ 2-post Shade Structures
e. Bid E:
i. 12 Cellular Gateways
ii. 12 Cameras
iii. Associated conduit
2. Reformatting the City’s bid breakout excel spreadsheet to correspond with the bid packages
3. Reformatting a final ‘Bid A’ plan set
4. Plan changes regarding existing trees, seat wall revision, and tree removal confirmations
5. Mainline rerouting review
6. Two redesigns of the bioswale area to accommodate existing trees and field discoveries during construction.
7. Redesign of landscape space surrounding manhole area near existing bathroom In addition to the items above, we have attended weekly construction meetings, reviewed over 28 submittals sometimes requiring multiple submittal iterations, and responded to RFIs.
As of February 18, 2026, our remaining budget (inclusive of construction administration and as-needed services) is $19,000. Knowing the project will run through at least the end of May, and likely into mid- June, below is a proposed as-needed task to allow us to deliver on any requests beyond the remaining budget:
Task 1: As-Needed Services Task
This task provides project flexibility for the Kimley-Horn team to be able to react quickly to requests beyond those listed in the tasks above, and/or requests that extend beyond the budget assigned to the tasks above.
Kimley-Horn will attend or facilitate additional meetings, produce deliverables, and/or coordinate with the City, and other project stakeholders and product representatives as requested, and/or reasonably required, to provide resolution to any comments/requirements that may surface during the construction document preparation phase of the project, and through construction.
This task shall only be used if requested, as needed. Effort shall not extend beyond the number noted below.
SCHEDULE
Kimley-Horn will provide services as expediently as practical to meet a mutually agreed upon schedule.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 22, 2026 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING REQUEST FOR TOLEDO AVENUE IN THE AMOUNT OF $30,000 AND AUTHORIZATION
TO PURCHASE AND IMPLEMENT TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Engineering Services Department
SUMMARY:
The City adopted a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (Program) in 2002 to facilitate a cooperative process with neighborhoods that have identified traffic concerns warranting review and resolution by the City. The Engineering Services Department is currently coordinating with several neighborhood organizations on various traffic calming requests, primarily related to speeding traffic and/or “cut-through” traffic. The range of traffic calming solutions include radar speed feedback signage, speed cushions, traffic striping, stop signs and pedestrian crosswalks. This item presents a traffic calming request by the residents on Toledo Avenue that have followed the procedures outlined in the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program and is recommended for approval by the City Council and implementation by the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve a traffic calming request for the Toledo Avenue Neighborhood, which consists of the installation of two electronic speed feedback signs, one on the east side and one on the west side of S. Toledo Ave, between E. Sierra Way and Madrona Dr.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
BACKGROUND:
On August 21, 2002, the City Council approved a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program to address neighborhood concerns over traffic safety, traffic speeds, traffic volumes, and cut-through traffic. The primary purpose of the City’s Program is to provide a systematic approach to address these various requests, implement a communication structure,
I – Page 93 of 381
City Council Staff Report
April 22, 2026 -- Page 2
Approval of Traffic Calming Measures
obtain objective data, and demonstrate resident support to determine the recommended traffic calming measures for implementation.
Traffic calming is intended to reduce vehicle speeds, improve safety, and enhance the quality of life for residents living in neighborhoods. The Program addresses a wide range of traffic related issues by working closely with residents to identify existing problems, define neighborhood goals, and build community support. The Program relies heavily on community participation and includes the use of Community Action Request Forms (CARF), which document neighborhood concerns, identify potential traffic calming solutions, and demonstrate initial support through resident signatures.
Upon receipt of a CARF, a neighborhood working group is established to coordinate directly with City staff throughout the traffic calming process. This process includes collecting and analyzing objective traffic data such as speed surveys, traffic volumes, and pedestrian activity. Based on this data and ongoing coordination with the working group, staff develops recommended traffic calming measures. The working group then assists with outreach to the broader neighborhood to communicate the process and build support for the proposed improvements. After development of a neighborhood driven traffic calming plan, actions may be implemented using a staged approach.
From June 2020 through December 2022, Engineering Staff worked with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and their consultant, KOA, to develop a Pedestrian Master Plan aimed at improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety citywide through infrastructure improvements, enforcement strategies, safety education, and incentives. These efforts relied heavily on community feedback and data analysis. Some of the recommended improvements identified in the Pedestrian Master Plan overlap with projects already initiated through the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program.
Summary of Traffic Calming Program: 2025-26
There are currently 27 traffic calming requests on file. During the 2025/2026 fiscal year, three new Community Action Request Forms were received. Of these, one did not meet the warrants for the requested traffic calming measure, while two are actively in process but have not yet reached the community voting stage and will be brought forward to City Council for review at a later date.
In addition, two projects were carried over from prior fiscal years. One of these is the subject of this staff report, while the other did not receive the required two thirds (or 67%) community support to move forward. The remaining 22 projects are either on hold or have been cancelled as a result of:
A request is received, but no follow-up CARF is submitted. In these cases, City staff attempts to contact the requestor to encourage completion of the process, but if no response is received, the project is placed on hold. A CARF is submitted and field study initiated by Staff, but the working group has become non-responsive.

City Council Staff Report
April 22, 2026 -- Page 3
Approval of Traffic Calming Measures
The requested measure(s) are planned under the City’s Pedestrian Plan, Highway Safety Improvement Projects (HSIP) or are larger scale, such as the proposed lane reconfigurations for South Palm Canyon and Racquet Club Drive.
The most common reason projects are cancelled or suspended are:
The requested traffic control measure(s) are found to be not feasible or warranted. The working group cannot agree on measure(s) for traffic calming in their neighborhood.
The preferred traffic control measures cannot be implemented because affected property owners are not in favor of the proposed location and no other locations are feasible.
Even when affected property owners consent to locating traffic control devices adjacent to their property, there is insufficient support from the overall neighborhood “study zone” survey (less than 2/3 of those surveyed vote in favor of the proposal).
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On October 10, 2022, neighborhood residents submitted a CARF requesting a solution be provided to reduce speed on Toledo Ave. between E. Sierra Way and Murray Canyon Dr. The CARF highlighted concerns with excessive speeds and pedestrian safety. The posted speed limit on Toledo Ave. is 40 miles per hour (mph). The requested solutions included, ideally, enforcement but open to other traffic calming measures. The working group decided to consider speed feedback signs (SFS) to encourage drivers to slow down. A speed study warrant analysis was undertaken and concluded that the 85 th percentile speeds were more than 7 mph over the speed limit, thereby meeting warrants for SFS.
On October 4, 2023, the second working group meeting was held to establish SFS locations. The working group was split between those in support of SFS and those wanting to consider an all-way stop sign at the intersection of Toledo Ave. and Canyon Estates Dr. Because the working group could not reach a consensus, the project was suspended in October 2023.
On June 16, 2025, the working group leader contacted staff to reactivate the project. A meeting was held at City Hall on September 17, 2025 with the working group, Canyon Estates neighborhood board members, City staff, and the District 5 City Councilmember, to discuss traffic issues on Toledo Avenue and traffic calming options. The working group reached a consensus that speed feedback signs would be the best option to consider.
Staff met with the working group to establish locations for SFS. In the southbound direction, it was determined that a SFS could replace an existing speed limit sign at E.
Sierra Way. In the northbound direction, a zone showing the most feasible location for a SFS was mapped and the working group leader communicated with those residents to determine where there was support.

Approval of Traffic Calming Measures
On October 16, 2025, a letter was sent to the two residents that would be most affected to respond if they were in favor or not in favor of the traffic calming measure. Approval was received from both residents shortly thereafter.
On November 10, 2025, a survey package was sent to the larger neighborhood study zone along S. Toledo Ave to determine whether they were in favor of SFS. The survey closed on December 18, 2025, with response from 80% of the study zone. Response in favor of the project was received from 71% of the study zone, comfortably exceeding the required 2/3, or 67%, needed to pass the measure. A follow up meeting was held with the working group in January 2026 to review next steps. Figure 1 below shows the location of the proposed improvements.
Figure 1 - Proposed Speed Feedback Signs at S. Toledo Ave.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
In accordance with Section 15301 “Existing Facilities,” Class 1 projects consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing facilities of both investor and publicly owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services. Therefore, the installation of traffic calming equipment on existing City streets is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.

BY: Economic Development
SUMMARY:
This action will approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement No. 25S225 with Conventional Wisdom Corp. to expand the scope of services to include additional program and project administration support and extend the contract term one- year for an additional amount of $150,000, and a revised contract amount not to exceed $300,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement No. 25S225 with Conventional Wisdom Corp. for an additional amount of $150,000, for a revised contract not-to-exceed total of $300,000, and extend the contract term one-year through July 20, 2027; and

J – Page 98 of 381
City Council Staff Report
April 22, 2026 -- Page 2
Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement No. 25S225 with Conventional Wisdom Convention Center. The agreement established a one-year term through July 20, 2026, not-to-exceed amount of $150,000.
As the project has advanced, additional coordination, contract management, and program-level oversight have been identified as necessary to support project delivery and maintain schedule and budget alignment.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Amendment No.1 proposes to modify the existing agreement by expanding the scope of services, extending the contract term, and increasing the total compensation. The scope expansion incorporates enhanced program and contract management services, including oversight of project delivery, coordination with project teams, and support for procurement and contract administration functions. Additionally, this Amendment No. 1 extends the contract term one-year, continuing services through July 20, 2027.
Staff recommend approval of Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 25S225, to ensure continuity of services during critical phases of project planning and implementation, in the amount of $150,000 for expanded scope of services and extending the term one-year through July 20, 2027, for a revised contract amount not to exceed $300,000. These changes will allow the City to maintain consistent program management support and ensure effective coordination among project stakeholders as the Convention Center project progresses.
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. The requested action is to approve contracts for the above-mentioned services, and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b), in that 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 action aligns with the City’s Economic Development Strategic Framework (EDSF), specifically:
Principle A: Expand the City’s Economic Development Capacity oInitiative A-1: Strengthen Organizational Capacity and Coordination Action Items:
A-1.1: Align City resources to implement priority economic development projects

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 22, 2026 PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: APPLICATION BY DEZART PERFORMS FOR HISTORIC SITE DESIGNATION OF “FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST SCIENTIST” LOCATED AT 605 SOUTH RIVERSIDE DRIVE, (APN 508-191-030) CASE: HSPB #170
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY:
The First Church of Christ Scientist at 605 South Riverside Drive was designed in the Mid-century Modern style by the architectural firm Clark, Frey & Chambers in 1956. The simple forms and utilitarian building materials in the desert context exemplifies Desert Modernism and development during the post war period between 1945-1969. This property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. If designated as a local historic resource, the property would be subject to the regulations outlined in Section 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC).
The HSPB and staff evaluated the application in accordance with the historic designation ordinance and applicable state/federal regulations, and determined it qualifies as a Class 1 (Landmark) historic site.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open the public hearing and receive public testimony.
2. Close the public hearing and adopt Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA,
DESIGNATING FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST SCIENTIST, AS A CLASS 1 (LANDMARK) HISTORIC RESOURCE HSPB #170, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS (APN 508-191-030).
BACKGROUND:

City Council Staff Report
April 22, 2026 -- Page 3
Historic Designation – First Church of Christ Scientist step. Following the designation process, they intend to pursue minor alterations to the building that would meet the criteria for changes to historic sites. The application for historic designation was reviewed by the HSPB on March 3, 2026. Based on the analysis provided in the report and a site visit, the Board made the findings to recommend Class 1 (Landmark) designation.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The analysis of the application relative to the criteria for the designation of historic resources is detailed in the attached HSPB resolution and staff report dated March 3, 2026. In order to be designated a historic landmark, a resource must exhibit exceptional historic significance and meet one or more of the criteria listed in PSMC Section
8.05.070.C.1.a. The Board made findings in support of Class 1 (Landmark) designation based on the following criteria:
PSMC 8.05.070, (C,1,Part a). The site, structure, building, or object exhibits exceptional historic significance and meets one or more of the criteria listed below:
(Criterion iii) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state, or local history;
(Criterion v) The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value;
Pursuant to PSMC 8.05.070, (5,C,1,Part b); “Historic Integrity” the HSPB made findings that the First Church of Christ Scientist possesses sufficient historic integrity to qualify as a Class 1 (Landmark) historic site.
During the March 3, 2026 HSPB meeting, the Board expressed their support of the application for Class 1 designation based on the criteria and integrity findings with a 4-0 vote.
The First Church of Christ Scientist meets the definition of a historic resource based on Criterion 3 and 5 of the Palm Springs Historic Preservation Ordinance and possesses integrity to qualify as a Class 1 (Landmark) site. 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)
A – Page 132 of 381
City Council Staff Report
April 22, 2026 -- Page 4
Historic Designation – First Church of Christ Scientist (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.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
This item aligns with the following City Council Strategic Plan Broad Goal: Economic Development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
While this action would have no direct fiscal impact, it would make the property eligible for a Mills Act contract in the future. That could reduce property tax revenue at that time, if authorized by Council.
The Riverside County Tax Assessor has not shared detailed information on the amount of property tax rebate applied to Mills Act properties; however, County staff have said the rebate can range from 40 to 70 % and that amount is based upon several factors including length of ownership, annual income of property, annual operating expenses, capitalization rate, etc. Currently, there are 179 Mills Act properties in the City, and the median residential tax bill is $4,250 per year. Based on these figures, the potential loss in revenue to the City could range from approximately $300,000 to over $530,000 annually. It should be noted that the Mills Act contract is one of few tools available to incentivize reinvestment into restoration and ongoing maintenance of historic resources, and that properly maintained Mills Act properties likely have a net positive effect on surrounding property values that may offset the loss in direct revenue over time. Council would evaluate the merits of any Mills Act contract application at such time that one is sought.

605 S. Riverside Drive is a curved corner site with the building surrounded by desert landscaping to the north and parking wrapping around the east, south, and west sides of the building. The property is adjacent to multi-family residential buildings and small hotels, with the Tahquitz Creek Channel watercourse area located immediately north of the site. The following is an analysis of the criterion and integrity findings for historic designation.
(Criterion i) The resource is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community;
No information was found in the report indicating any significant events occurred on this site.
The site does not qualify under Criterion i.
(Criterion ii) The resource is associated with the lives of persons who made a meaningful contribution to national, state or local history;
Based on the report and chain of title, the site remained under church ownership until 2024. The new owner, Dezart Performs, intends to operate the site as a performance venue and community space. While both owners demonstrate meaningful uses for the community, the research does not support Criterion ii.
(Criterion iii) The resource reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state, or local history;
During the Post -war period between 1945- 1969, the city was experiencing unprecedented growth reflected in the number of new residential subdivisions and commercial developments built during this time. The First Church of Christ Scientist, classified as institutional development, was one of several religious buildings constructed during this period to meet the needs of the growing population.
The selection of utilitarian building materials, simple forms, and a design that responds to the desert environment are all important characteristics that embody the Mid- century Modern initiative. Locally identified as Desert Modernism, the use of deep overhangs, clerestory windows, concrete blocks and aluminum-framed fenestration resulted in a simple yet responsive design that clearly exemplified the movement. This architectural style was adopted for many civic buildings. Other distinctive characteristics include unadorned exterior surfaces, concrete block wall construction, and compositions with oblique angles instead of a strict grid layout.
As an example of an institutional building demonstrating the local development patterns and its strong association with the Desert Modernist movement, Criterion iii is met.
(Criterion iv) The resource embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction;
Palm Springs evaluates criterion iv as a distinctive characteristic associated with construction type, construction period, and construction methods. The construction of the church appears to utilize conventional methods and materials. Criterion iv is not met.

April 22, 2026
(Criterion v) The resource presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value;
The architectural firm Clark, Frey & Chambers is credited for designing the First Church of Christ Scientist building, but the report and the National Register nomination further clarifies that this building was designed as a collaborative effort between Albert Frey and Robson Chambers. The later additions are attributed to Frey and many design elements support this association. After training in Europe under Le Corbusier, Frey moved to the United States and practiced architecture in the Coachella Valley for sixty years. He adapted Modernist principles to respond to the desert environment and is considered one of the of the main contributors to the Palm Spring School and Desert Modernism. Frey’s work in Palm Springs extends from civic projects to single-family residential homes. The First Church of Christ Scientist is a rare example of a religious property he designed that fully embodies Desert Modernism ideals.
By 1956, Robson Chambers became a partner at the firm and was involved in many influential projects like the Palm Springs City Hall building. Although it is difficult to determine the level of contribution Chambers made to the design of 605 S. Riverside Dr ive, reports confirm he was actively involved in the process.
Both architects are valued for their individual genius and the building itself possesses high artistic value. Criterion v is met.
(Criterion vi) The resource 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 resource is not within a historic district and does not qualify under Criterion vi.
(Criterion vii) The resource 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 “B” ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC INTEGRITY.
Analysis of Integrity. (PSMC 8.05.070 (C,1,b). 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.
The report provides 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:
A – Page 139 of 381
Resolution No.____
April 22, 2026
1. Location:
The building’s location has not changed from the original design; therefore, the integrity of location is met.
2. Design:
The design emphasizes utilitarian aesthetics, simple forms, and durable building materials. The primary entrance is positioned where the street curves on the north side, and concrete sidewalks lead up to the elevated open space in front of the main doors. This space is hardscaped with concrete pavers and elevated on top of an area created by gravel -filled retaining walls. A deep roof overhang supported on thin metal poles covers the north- facing glazing. The repeating patterns of the floor-to-ceiling fenestration on this elevation is a character-defining feature. The shed roof over the main auditorium slopes southward and clerestory windows are located on the east elevation to bring light into that space. On the east elevation, there is a terrarium screened by a concrete block wall with decorative horizontal openings. The later additions designed by Frey have flat roofs and continue the use of stucco and terra cotta colored concrete blocks in a stack bond pattern. The transition between building materials shows clean lines and helps accentuate the articulation of the building. Lastly, vehicular circulation enters the site from the street along the east side and proceeds toward the southern exit, which reconnects back to the street. There are also head-in parking spaces located along a portion of the west elevation. The site plan clearly anticipated vehicular travel to the site, but a strong pedestrian experience was created around the north entrance. The overall aesthetic and the use of conventional materials like concrete blocks and aluminum-framed fenestration to create visual interest is a design trait indicative of Frey. The integrity of the original design is intact.
3. Setting:
The setting surrounding the site has evolved over time. The open space to the west has since been infilled with residential development; however, the curved street pattern, the watercourse, and the small hotels and multi-family buildings immediately to the east and south remain intact.
4. Materials:
The building materials selected to construct this building are durable to withstand the hot and arid climate and create a utilitarian appearance. The walls are finished in stucco or sandblasted concrete blocks stacked in a bond pattern, and the windows are aluminum-framed where some areas extend from the floor to the ceiling. Slender steel posts support the deep overhangs above the primary entrance, and the concrete blocks are used as screening material on certain elevations. The integrity of materials remains extant.
5. Workmanship:
The addition of roof -mounted mechanical equipment, screening, and surface- mounted conduit detracts from the simplicity of the design in areas; however, most of the building largely retains its integrity of workmanship. Its oblique angles and clean transiti ons between exterior building materials continue to reflect a high level of workmanship and attention to detail.

Resolution No.____
April 22, 2026
6. Feeling:
The historic character of the property remains intact because the design and material integrity of the site remains in good condition with little to no deviations to the mass and scale of the building.
7. Association:
The site’s association to Desert Modern as an institutional building from the 1950s is apparent due to the maintained integrity of the original design. Architectural features like the concrete blocks, aluminum clad fenestration and deep overhangs are closely associated with the designs of Frey and Chambers. The integrity of association remains visible.
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 of the resource are as follows:
• Modern unadorned utilitarian design
• Sandblasted terra-cotta-colored concrete block arranged in stack bond pattern • Foyer with north-facing floor to ceiling windows and entry doors • Flat roof covering foyer and boardroom
• Slender metal pipe posts supporting flat roof
• Metal fascia
• Board room addition (1961)
• Shed roof covering auditorium
• Clerestory windows punctuating auditorium’s west elevation • Terrarium enclosed with concrete block with horizontal openings on east elevation • West elevation addition (1961)
• Aluminum-framed metal mesh west-facing windows
• Rear (south) addition (1968)
• Terra-cotta-colored stack bond pattern concrete block retaining walls fronting north sidewalk that enclose planters with mature olive trees
• Concrete steps leading to main entrance with metal pipe railings • Perforated concrete block wall on east elevation sheltering interior planter
Non-contributing elements:
• Recessed wooden screen atop rear addition screening the roof mounted air handling

equipment
• Recessed metal screen above the foyer shielding the roof -mounted air handling equipment
• Parking lot light fixture with electrical conduit attached to the surface of the east elevation • Electrical conduit attached to the west elevation
• Metal rain gutters attached to board room on the north elevation
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 shall apply to a Class 1 Historic Resource:
1. It shall meet the definition of a Class 1 historic site 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.
4. The structure/site may not be modified, nor objects removed without following the procedures outlined in Municipal Code Section 8.05.110 “Demolition or Alteration of Class 1 and Class 2 Historic Resources – Certificate of Appropriateness”.
5. A marker explaining the historic nature of the site may be installed at the site in a location viewable from the public way.
6. Compliance with all rules and regulations for Historic Sites and Historic Districts under Chapter 8.05 of the Municipal Code shall be required.

2 Introduction At the request of applicant and property owner DEZART Performs and on behalf of the Palm Springs Modern Committee, Peter Moruzzi prepared this Class One Historic Site nomination for the former First Church of Christ Scientist at 605 South Riverside Drive in the Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood of Palm Springs. Mr. Moruzzi is an Architectural Historian meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for History with 23 years of experience. The subject building was constructed in 1956.1 The 2018 Citywide Historic Resources inventory identified it as appearing to be individually eligible for local listing or designation through survey evaluation (a 5S3 California Historical Resource Status Code) with the following Statement of Significance: This property was re-evaluated during the 2015 survey as part of an update to the City of Palm Springs’ list of potential historic resources (Citywide Historic Resource Database). It is significant as a good example of Mid-century Modern institutional architecture designed by the prominent local firm of Frey & Chambers. It exhibits quality of design with distinctive features including its irregular plan, stepped massing, rose-colored scored concrete block construction, and combination of shed and flat roofs with cantilevered canopy. In 2015, this property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places under the Multiple Property Documentation Form, ‘The Architecture of Albert Frey.’2 Completion of this nomination involved a site visit and visual inspection of the building by Mr. Moruzzi on April 2, 2025; compilation and review of historic building permits and project documents obtained from the Palm Springs Department of Planning Services and those stored on site at the subject church property; application of relevant historic contexts and themes found in the City’s Historic Context Statement; evaluation of the property’s individual eligibility under City of Palm Springs Class 1 Historic Site criteria; and evaluation of historic integrity. Location The First Church of Christ Scientist (the subject property) is located at 605 South Riverside Drive, Palm Springs, Riverside County, California on the southeast corner of South Riverside Drive and Random Road. There is approximately 250 feet of street frontage. APN: 508-191-030. The property is located on the west end of a block consisting of one- and two-story apartment buildings, small hotels, and another church building. The area is isolated from the main thoroughfare of South Palm Canyon Drive by a large residential development known as Cody Place to the west, and the generally dry Tahquitz Creek Channel to the north. 1 The subject property’s original building permit #9093 is dated 1956; however, the County of Riverside gives a 1957 date of construction. For the purposes of this nomination, the building permit date of 1956 is used as the date of construction. 2 Citywide Historic Resources Inventory, 605 S.

8 Albert Frey Albert Frey settled in the United States in 1930 filled with excitement about the modern spirit that was sweeping Europe. “As the first architect to build in America who had directly worked with the modern master Le Corbusier, a new world was open to him. He was eager to explore the new technological frontiers that America promised, but found another frontier he had not anticipated – a virgin desert landscape that was his on which to build.”3 Frey began his career by designing buildings in the language of the European modern movement – as static objects that stood independent from their sites – but in the Coachella Valley his designs would evolve as a response to environmental conditions unique to the desert. After establishing himself permanently in Palm Springs in the late 1930s, there was a clear evolution in Frey’s architecture from his early designs to those that appeared after World War II. For example, his 1934 Kocher-Samson Building lacked sufficient overhangs to deflect the harsh desert sun, and employed stucco as an exterior finish. Frey addressed these shortcomings through the use of extended eaves, asbestos cement-board, concrete block, and fiberglass. He used corrugated aluminum as exterior sheathing for walls and roofs because of its ability to reflect the sun and rapidly shed heat. Deep overhangs – and hoods for his emblematic porthole windows – were precisely calibrated to address the angle of the desert sun. Frey’s extensive use of plate glass for windows and sliding doors wholly embraced the concept of indoor-outdoor living and captured dramatic views of the mountains and desert sands. Frey perfected a sandblasted terra-cotta-colored concrete block as a method of construction and for its distinctive aesthetic qualities. Frey had the blocks custom-made for the local environment – unpainted, fully exposed, and color tinted to complement the desert soil. Frey’s imaginative and original use of these construction methods and materials made his mature style distinct and immediately recognizable. Frey’s architectural impact in the Coachella Valley was enormous. It is revealed in the sheer number of his built projects: houses, schools, a fire station, churches – such as the subject First Church of Christ Scientist – shopping centers, hospitals, a yacht club, restaurants, hotels and apartments. It is revealed in the prominence of some of his buildings: Palm Springs City Hall, the Tramway Gas Station, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station, and Frey Houses I and II. It is revealed in the respect for his work as reviewed in the architectural press throughout Frey’s life and, later, by scholars and architectural aficionados drawn to the Coachella Valley to celebrate Frey’s design legacy. Robson Chambers Southern California native Robson Chambers graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles (USC) with a degree in architecture in 1941. In 1946, following his return from active duty in the Marine Corp during World War II, Chambers accepted a junior position at the Palm Springs firm of Clark & Frey. A few years later, in 1948, he was elevated to full partnership at the firm under the new name of Clark, Frey & Chambers. This would last until John Porter Clark’s departure at the end of 1956 when the firm was renamed Frey & Chambers. Because of the collaborative nature of partnerships, it is not always easy to determine the degree of each contribution. However, in scholar Joseph Rosa’s seminal monograph on Albert Frey first published in 1990 and revised and updated in 1999, Rosa writes “The following list is comprised solely of buildings and projects that Frey was primarily responsible for designing as a firm partner or employee. The list does not include all of the works of his partnerships with Clark 3 Rosa, Joseph. Albert Frey, Architect. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 1999. P. 135
A – Page 154 of 381
9 and Chambers; it includes only those works that were designed by Frey and not buildings designed by his partners.”4 In the case of First Church of Christ Scientist, Rosa wrote in parentheses that the subject property was designed with Robson Chambers and does not mention John Porter Clark, who left the firm in 1956 after the initial plans were rendered.5 Notwithstanding the collaborative design credit, the First Church of Christ Scientist exhibits the key architectural elements associated with Albert Frey. These include its sandblasted terra-cotta-colored concrete block construction, shed and flat roofs, deep overhangs, metal fascia, large plate glass windows, and pipe support posts. In 1966, Frey and Chambers amicably dissolved their 20-year partnership when Chambers relocated to Santa Barbara to take a position as a campus architect for the University of California, Santa Barbara. 4 Rosa, p. 141 5 Rosa, p. 142

10 Architectural Description and Existing Conditions The Palm Springs First Church of Christ Scientist was designed in 1956 by the architectural firm of Clark, Frey & Chambers. The original master plan dated June 9, 1956 shows a foyer, auditorium, and a row of small office spaces behind the auditorium (see Site Plan 1956). In addition, a large Sunday school classroom, boardroom, and restrooms were also depicted; however, these three elements were not constructed until 1961 according to updated plans and building permits (see Planned Additions 1961). In 1968, building permits confirm that a 360 square foot childcare room designed by Albert Frey was built at the rear of the building. The architectural design of the church is distinctly modern, unadorned and utilitarian. It shares characteristic features found in another Frey-designed building of this period, Fire Station #1 (1955). Features such as sandblasted terra-cotta-colored concrete block, a flat roof, slender metal support posts, deep overhangs with metal fascia, and large aluminum-framed windows. In the case of the subject property, its distinguishing architectural element is sandblasted terra-cotta-colored concrete block arranged in a stack bond pattern on all four elevations. A flat roof that extends far over the north-facing foyer and main entrance is supported by slender steel posts. Aluminum-framed floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows and glazed entry doors distinguish the foyer and main entrance. Stucco sheathes exterior surfaces on either side of the foyer’s doors and windows. Flat metal clads all fascia. A shed roof covers the auditorium that slopes upward toward the south with deep eaves on the west-facing elevation. Clerestory windows punctuate the auditorium’s west elevation beneath the shed roof. In contrast, the east elevation lacks eaves due to the presence of an interior terrarium screened by a grid of horizontal openings in a wall of concrete block. A flat roofed addition constructed in 1961 is attached to what was the west elevation of the auditorium with a long hallway separating the two elements. The addition consists of two outward-stepped rectangular volumes of stack bond concrete block construction containing the restrooms and Sunday school classroom. Distinctive aluminum-framed metal mesh windows on the west and south punctuate the latter. At the northeast corner of the church is the board room that was also added in 1961. Its flat-roofed rectangular volume features floor-to-ceiling, north-facing glazing and aluminum mullions. Its east elevation is of terra cotta colored concrete block arranged in a stack bond pattern identical to that of the original building. A finish of stucco was applied to the west side of the boardroom addition that originally was exposed concrete block. At the rear of the building is a small childcare room with three windows that was added in 1968 with a design by Albert Frey. Between the Sunday school and childcare room is a narrow covered entry corridor. As noted, the 1961 additions were designed and anticipated in the 1956 plans prepared by Clark Frey & Chambers, and the 1968 childcare room was designed by Albert Frey when he was in solo practice. Similar to the exterior, the building’s interior is unadorned and utilitarian. The foyer, with its wall of north-facing glazing, leads to the spacious auditorium. Wooden horizontal slats form the rear wall behind the auditorium’s rostrum and serve as vents above flanking exits. Ceiling air conditioning vents that run the length of the auditorium center a pair of distinctive lapped redwood soffits with hidden recessed lighting. The room’s east wall consists of three pairs of sliding glass doors that open onto a terrarium with light provided from a grid of rectangular openings within the stack bond concrete block wall. Clerestory windows provide illumination from the west.

11 A non-original recessed metal screen shields air-handling equipment on the roof above the foyer. Recessed wooden screens atop the flat roof at the rear of the building are also not original to the design. The church itself centers a large asphalt parking area with a concrete sidewalk surrounding the building. Where the street curves on the north, a concrete block retaining wall encloses a gravel-filled planter containing mature olive trees. The period of significance for the subject property is 1956 to 1968, corresponding with the date of the original building permit up through when important additions were completed under the auspices of Frey & Chambers, or Albert Frey in solo practice.

14 CITY OF PALM SPRINGS CITYWIDE HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT Post-World War II Civic and Institutional Development (1945-1969) Property Types: Civic or Institutional Building This theme explores the development of civic buildings, schools, churches, and other institutions in the decades after World War II. As Palm Springs’ population grew, so did the need for civic buildings. Usually designed by local architects, they reflected the progressive symbolism of Modernism in schools, churches, fire stations, and especially in a new City Hall. Civic property types include city halls or other offices for public agencies, post offices, fire and police stations, schools, and libraries. Non-governmental institutional property types include churches, meeting halls, and buildings associated with social organizations. Applicable Eligibility Criteria A civic or institutional property from this period may be eligible for historic designation under one or more of the following criteria: Criterion i: It is associated with events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community. The property at 605 South Riverside Drive 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 events occurred at the subject property, nor did it reveal that the property’s construction occurred as a result of any one event; rather, the subject property reflects Post-World War II civic and institutional development patterns as a religious building to meet the needs of the growing population. Therefore, the subject property is not eligible as a Class 1 Historic Resource under City of Palm Springs Criterion i. Criterion ii: It is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contributions to national, state or local history. The subject property does not appear to be associated with persons who have made meaningful contributions to national, state or local history. While the original long-time occupant was the First Church of Christ Scientist, it does not appear that there were any persons associated with the property that would rise to the level of significance within the context of national, state or local history. The property does not appear eligible as a Class 1 Historic Resource under City of Palm Springs Criterion ii. Criterion iii: It reflects or exemplifies a particular period of national, state or local history. The First Church of Christ Scientist is a superb example of institutional development from the 1950s, a crucial period in the growth of Palm Springs reflecting the city’s postwar boom and the accompanying institutional buildings constructed to support it. With the number of residents and visitors continuing to grow, a need arose for a branch of the well-established Christian Science Church to erect a building in Palm Springs to house its services. The subject property is also an excellent example of modern institutional architecture, a popular style in Palm Springs during its postwar development seen in civic and institutional buildings through the 1970s. The First Church of Christ Scientist embodies the distinctive characteristics of a modern building with its unadorned utilitarian design, concrete block construction, flat and shed roofs, deep eaves, and clerestory windows. This interpretation of Modernism used simplicity and up-to-date materials composed not on a strict grid, but with oblique angles. For the desert climate, direct sunlight was moderated in the main auditorium with an interior terrarium screened to filter the light. As the property is associated with historic patterns of institutional development in Palm Springs in the postwar period and is an excellent example of the modern architectural style as applied to
A – Page 160 of 381
15 an institutional building it appears eligible as a Class 1 Historic Site under City of Palm Springs criterion iii. Criterion iv: It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction. Although the property at 605 South Riverside Drive is an excellent example of modern architecture as applied to an institutional building in the postwar period, it does not embody a singularly significant type, period, or method of construction. Its concrete block construction is characteristic of the modern architectural style as practiced by Albert Frey and his partners but this construction method is not restricted to a type or to a narrowly defined time period. As a result, the subject property does not appear eligible as a Class 1 Historic Site under City of Palm Springs criterion iv. Criterion v: It represents the work of a master builder, designer, artists, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age; or it possesses high artistic value. The First Church of Christ Scientist is an exceptional example of the modern architectural style that embodies the distinctive characteristics of Albert Frey’s interpretation of modern design for the desert environment of the Coachella Valley. Such features as sandblasted terra-cotta-colored concrete block arranged in a stack bond pattern; flat and shed roofs, slender metal pipe support posts, deep overhangs with metal fascia, and large aluminum-framed windows. Additionally, the subject property is important in demonstrating how Frey’s architectural approach to modern architecture was applied to a house of worship. Albert Frey was a master architect whose designs helped define desert modernism in the Coachella Valley. Frey’s buildings, both before and after World War II, were important contributors to placing Palm Springs on the map as a new frontier for the modern movement. This conclusion was confirmed in 2015 when the property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places under the Multiple Property Documentation Form, ‘The Architecture of Albert Frey.’ In summary, the First Church of Christ Scientist qualifies for listing as a Class 1 Historic Site under City of Palm Springs Criterion v. Criterion vi: It represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. As 605 South Riverside Drive is not a district or part of a district, it does not represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Therefore, it is not eligible as a Class 1 Historic Site under City of Palm Springs Criterion vi. Criterion vii: It has yielded or may be likely to yield information important to national, state, or local history or prehistory. As an archaeological assessment was not conducted as part of the nomination, 605 South Riverside Drive is left unevaluated under Criterion vii.

16 Integrity Evaluation Each type of property depends on certain aspects of integrity to express its historic significance. Determining which of the aspects is important to a particular property type requires an understanding of the property’s significance and its essential physical features. The rarity of the property type should also be considered when assessing its physical integrity. In order to be eligible for listing at the local level, a property must retain sufficient integrity to convey its historic significance under a particular theme – in this case, Post-World War II Civic and Institutional Development in Palm Springs (1945-1969). In 1961, a board room, Sunday school classroom, and restrooms were added to the building according to architectural plans prepared in 1956. A small childcare room addition in 1968 was designed by Albert Frey. These are the subject property’s only additions and they were completed by the original architect(s). An April, 1991 building permit indicates that a (wooden) screen was constructed to shield a new air conditioning unit on the roof behind the auditorium and above the childcare room at the rear of the building. It appears that a new electric heat pump on the roof added later that month was also shielded by the same screen. Visual inspection reveals that a metal screen shielding additional HVAC equipment was later constructed above the foyer near the building’s northwest corner. Although no building permit was found documenting the metal screen, it is probable that it was erected in 2017 when a “Mechanical Change-out on Roof” occurred as stated in a building permit of that year. Building permits and visual inspection identify no other alterations. Given that the applicable eligibility criteria identified above for the subject property’s qualifying for listing as a Class 1 Historic Site are criteria iii and v, these are the only criteria upon which the following integrity evaluations are applied. Criterion iii: A property that is significant for its historic association is eligible if it retains the essential physical features that made up its character or appearance during the period of its association with the important event, historical pattern, or person(s). A civic or institutional property from this period eligible under Criterion iii (Pattern of development/period) should retain integrity of location, design, materials, feeling, and association, at a minimum, in order to reflect the important association with the city’s’ civic and institutional development during this period. Under Criterion iii, the subject property retains all of the physical features that made up its character and appearance during the period of its association with the First Church of Christ Scientist, which held services there from its completion in 1957 until the property was sold to the current owner in late 2024. As a result, the subject property retains integrity of location, design, materials, feeling and association. In addition, the building also reflects the important association with Palm Springs’ institutional development in the postwar period, specifically that of a religious building from the 1950s. Criterion v: A property important for illustrating a particular property type, architectural style or construction technique; or that represents the work of a master must retain most of the physical features that constitute that type, style or technique. A civic or institutional property significant under Criterion v (Architecture) should retain integrity of design, workmanship, materials, and feeling, at a minimum, in order to be eligible for its architectural merit. As documented above, the First Church of Christ Scientist exhibits those physical features of the modern architectural style associated with the work of master architect Albert Frey – in collaboration with Robson Chambers – as applied to an institutional building retaining integrity of design, materials, workmanship and feeling sufficient to convey its architectural significance under Criterion v.
A – Page 162 of 381
17 Conclusion The First Church of Christ Scientist is eligible for listing as a City of Palm Springs Class 1 Historic Site. It exemplifies the distinctive characteristics of the institutional building property type designed in the modern architectural style under the Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement, Post-World War II Civic and Institutional Development (1945-1969). In addition, the subject property retains sufficient integrity to convey its historic significance under this theme as the work of master architect Albert Frey, in collaboration with Robson Chambers.
