New ordinance expands hotel operations incentive program eligibility.

ORDINANCE NO. 2126
 
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 5.27 TO THE PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO A RESTRUCTURED HOTEL OPERATIONS INCENTIVE PROGRAM
 
City Attorney’s Summary
The existing hotel operations incentive program is limited to hotels constructed and/or renovated during specific periods of time, and over time, this has resulted in fewer hotels being eligible to apply for the program. This ordinance creates a restructured hotel operations incentive program with broader and more streamlined criteria to allow more hotels to apply for the program.
