RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve Special Use Permit #18-023 with conditions.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre (CVRep) recently purchased the former Desert Cinemas building, located at 68510 East Palm Canyon Drive, from the City Urban Revitalization Corporation. CVRep is currently transforming the movie theater into a live performing arts theater.
DISCUSSION:
CVRep plans to hold an outdoor lawn fundraiser on Monday, October 22, 2018 from 5 pm to 8 pm on the City-owned lawn in front of their theater. The fundraiser will support CVRep's efforts to continue the renovations on the playhouse, a multi-million-dollar project. CVRep has also requested that the City help sponsor the event and do so by waiving the Special Use Permit application fee of $510 as well as provide in-kind services such as utilizing the City’s metal crowd control barriers and electricity boxes.
Staff would like the Council to consider the following conditions on the approval of this permit applications:
1. Because the grass will be in the process of reseeding and growing that all stage set-up must occur on the pavers or concrete adjacent to the grass.
2. CVRep provides property and liability insurance in the amount $1 million naming the City as an additional insured.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact would be the loss of $510 in application fees and in-kind services of using public works to set-up the metal crowd control barriers on Monday, October 22, 2018 and removing them on Tuesday, October 23, 2018.
