Dear Wayne:
On behalf of CVL Economics, I am pleased to submit an updated proposal for the Municipal Code Audit and Regulatory Review. This proposal reflects the iterative work we have undertaken together since the Council's adoption of the Economic Development Strategic Framework (EDSF) in November 2025 and the careful sequencing of activation priorities that has emerged from that process. The scope presented here has been refined to reflect Council direction, departmental capacity, and our shared understanding of where regulatory modernization can have the greatest near-term impact.
The decision to focus on the Municipal Code Audit and Regulatory Review is a deliberate and strategic one. Regulatory structure sits upstream of nearly every economic development outcome the City is pursuing; development feasibility, business formation timelines, investment predictability, and the effectiveness of future incentive programs all flow from how the code operates in practice. Portions of the City's municipal code and permitting processes were adopted under earlier conditions and now create avoidable friction for otherwise viable projects. Addressing those constraints creates the foundation on which subsequent activation priorities— the Business Process Audit, Economic Technology Hub, Fiscal Toolkit, and Business District Development work— can be advanced with greater speed and effectiveness.
As the authors of the EDSF, CVL Economics brings something to this engagement that no other firm can offer: institutional continuity. We know the framework's intent, we know the stakeholders, and we know where the regulatory gaps are most likely to surface. That knowledge shortens the path from diagnosis to action and ensures that recommendations are grounded in— and accountable to— the strategy the Council has already adopted. Our goal is not just to deliver a findings report but to position Palm Springs to move forward with clarity and momentum across the full implementation agenda.
We are grateful for the trust the City has placed in our team and look forward to delivering results that reflect the ambition of the framework we helped build.
Sincerely,
Uday Ram
Founding Partner
2 SCOPE OF WORK
The City's regulatory framework plays a central role in shaping Palm Springs' economic outcomes.
During the Economic Development Strategic Framework planning process, it became clear that portions of the municipal code and permitting processes were creating avoidable friction for otherwise viable projects. Misaligned land-use definitions, layered approvals, and outdated standards have been slowing hospitality reinvestment, adaptive reuse, and creative space development at a moment when the City is positioned to accelerate all three.
To that end, this engagement focuses on identifying and resolving regulatory and procedural barriers that affect business investment, adaptive reuse, district activation, and priority development activity. The work will surface how regulations are experienced in practice, including points where permitting pathways, interdepartmental coordination, or business-facing processes create friction. Collectively, these observations will inform recommendations but will not constitute a full business process audit.
The code audit and regulatory review will be conducted across four phases over a twelve-month period, producing three key deliverables: a Regulatory Findings Report, a Final Barrier-to-Solution Matrix, and an Executive Summary for City Leadership and Council. The outcome is a prioritized, actionable set of regulatory improvements designed to strengthen the City's business environment and investment readiness.
PHASE 1: DIAGNOSTIC SCAN
Phase 1 will establish the diagnostic foundation for all subsequent work. Rather than a comprehensive review of all regulations, the analysis will concentrate on provisions and regulatory touchpoints that most directly influence economic activity to reflect how requirements operate across multiple departments. 1 TASK 1.1: MUNICIPAL CODE REVIEW | CVL Economics will review selected Municipal Code provisions and regulations affecting priority economic activities, with emphasis on development feasibility, approval timelines, and alignment with current market conditions and industry needs. The analysis will examine how provisions across multiple code sections interact— including those related to land use, licensing, business operations, and development standards— recognizing that regulatory outcomes are often shaped by multiple code layers rather than a single provision. The review will consider not only the text of existing provisions but how they function against current market realities, including the conditions affecting investment, business formation, and development activity in Palm Springs today.
TASK 1.2: REGULATORY PROCESS ASSESSMENT | The CVL Project Team will examine how Municipal Code requirements shape the experience of businesses, developers, and investors as they navigate
1 Palm Springs is currently advancing updates to its zoning code through the Department of Planning Services and its consultant , Code Studio. CVL Economics with continue to coordinate with this ongoing effort to ensure continuity, avoid duplication, and support a unified path to implementation.
3 City processes. The analysis will focus on identifying where regulatory structures — including approval pathways, licensing requirements, and coordination across departments — create friction that affects investment decisions, business formation, and development feasibility. The goal is to understand not just how requirements are administered, but where they are functioning as barriers to economic activity the City is actively trying to attract and support.
TASK 1.3: STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH | The CVL Project Team will conduct targeted outreach to businesses, developers, property owners, and other economic actors operating within the City's regulatory environment. Outreach will be designed to surface how regulatory requirements are experienced in practice by identifying where processes are working, where they are creating friction, and where the gap between regulatory intent and on-the-ground reality is most pronounced.
PHASE 2: BARRIERS ANALYSIS
Phase 2 will translate diagnostic findings into a structured understanding of the City's most pressing constraints, shifting from observation to evaluation.
TASK 2.1: BARRIER IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION | Regulatory and procedural barriers identified in Phase 1 will be compiled and organized into categories reflecting common themes — such as land use constraints, licensing and operational requirements, permitting complexity, or regulatory conditions affecting specific business types and development contexts — and prioritized based on economic impact, frequency, and feasibility of resolution.2 Where a single code provision contributes to multiple barriers, those cross-cutting constraints will be identified to support efficient sequencing of reforms. High-impact, near-term opportunities will be distinguished from more complex or longer-term changes.
TASK 2.2: STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK ALIGNMENT | Identified barriers will be mapped against the initiatives and actions outlined in the strategic framework to ensure that prioritization reflects adopted policy direction. This step will create a documented through-line between the City's strategic commitments and the regulatory constraints most in need of resolution, ensuring that subsequent recommendations are grounded in and accountable to the EDSF.
PHASE 3: RECOMMENDATIONS
Phase 3 will shift from identifying problems to defining solutions, developing recommendations that are practical, targeted, and actionable — moving the City's regulatory framework toward greater flexibility, clarity, and alignment with current economic conditions.
TASK 3.1: TARGETED CODE REFORMS | The CVL Project Team will develop targeted recommendations to address the root causes of identified barriers. Solutions may include clarifying definitions,
2 Specific areas of focus may center on regulations affecting Tourism & Hospitality Development, Commercial Corridor Activation, Events & Temporary Uses, Arts & Cultural Economy, and Workforce Housing , among others.
4 adjusting development standards, streamlining approval pathways, or introducing new regulatory tools — each designed to improve flexibility and predictability while maintaining consistency with adopted plans and the City's broader policy objectives. Recommendations will draw on the full range of relevant Municipal Code provisions, not limited to zoning and development standards, and will reflect both the letter of existing regulations and how they are experienced in practice by businesses, developers, and investors.
TASK 3.2: STRUCTURING AND SEQUENCING | Recommendations will be organized into a clear action typology that reflects the City's regulatory structure and decision-making processes, establishing a logical sequence for advancing reforms. Categories may include:
§ Administrative actions that can be implemented in the near term § Code amendments requiring formal approvals
§ Longer-term policy considerations within the Municipal Code and Regulatory Framework § Process-related issues to be addressed through a separate business process audit
PHASE 4: SYNTHESIS
Phase 4 will ensure that recommendations developed in Phase 3 are grounded in operational reality and supported by the departments responsible for implementation. Alignment across planning, permitting, enforcement, and economic development functions is essential to translating regulatory reforms into durable change.
TASK 4.1: CROSS-DEPARTMENTAL REVIEW | The CVL Project Team will conduct structured discussions with relevant City departments to confirm the legal feasibility, operational practicality, and consistency of proposed recommendations with existing responsibilities and workflows. These conversations will also serve as an early coordination mechanism, giving departments visibility into proposed changes before they advance through formal approval processes.
TASK 4.2: REFINEMENT | Drawing on departmental input, CVL Economics will refine recommendations to ensure clarity, feasibility, and alignment with internal workflows. This step will also identify any recommendations that may require additional coordination or phasing before implementation, producing a final set of recommendations that reflects both analytical rigor and operational viability.
TASK 4.3: FINAL DOCUMENTATION | CVL Economics will synthesize findings, analysis, and recommendations into a final set of work products designed for both technical staff and City leadership. Documentation will be structured for clarity and usability, with an emphasis on supporting decision-making and providing a clear path to implementation.
5 DELIVERABLES
The following work products will be delivered upon completion of the engagement. Each is designed to serve a distinct purpose — providing a technical record of findings and recommendations, a practical implementation tool for City staff, and a decision-ready summary for City leadership and Council.
§ REGULATORY FINDINGS REPORT: A comprehensive document synthesizing the findings of the municipal code and regulatory review, including identified barriers, analysis of economic impact and feasibility, and recommendations organized by action type and implementation sequence.
§ BARRIER-TO-SOLUTION MATRIX: A structured reference document mapping each identified regulatory barrier to a corresponding recommendation, action type, responsible department, and implementation pathway. The matrix will serve as a practical implementation tool that City staff can use to track and advance regulatory reforms over time.
§
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR CITY LEADERSHIP: A concise summary of key findings, priority recommendations, and proposed next steps, prepared for City leadership and Council. The document will be designed for accessibility and decision-making, translating technical analysis into clear direction for policy action.
