B. Studio AR & D Architects, Inc. ("Applicant"), on behalf of Desert Eyrie Homes, LLC
("Owner"), filed an Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) application, Case 7.1658 AMM,

front yard setback of 15.2 feet instead of the 25-foot-minimum required by the Desert
Palisades Specific Plan Development Standards for construction of a 4,754-square-foot single-
family residence on an undeveloped hillside property located at 2306 Monument Court ("the
Project").
C. On April 8, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2042, amending Section

Architectural Review Committee Resolution No. 1016 September 19, 2022
Case 3.4336 MAJ & Case 7.1658 AMM — 2306 Monument Court Page 2 of 3
THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RESOLVES:
Section 1: The proposed single-family residence is considered a project pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Architectural Review Committee has
evaluated the Project pursuant to CEQA and determined it to be Categorically Exempt from
further analysis under.CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(a) (Class 3, New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures).
Section 2: As demonstrated in the staff report, the Project conforms to the Architectural
Guidelines of PSZC Sections 93.13.00 ("hillside development') and 94.04.00 ("architectural
review"); the Architecture, Landscaping and Design Guidelines of Desert Palisades Specific
Plan Sections V ("Architecture ad Site Design") and VI ("Landscaping Guidelines"); and Design
Standards of PSZC Section 92.21.1.05 ("Findings Required for Approval') as conditioned.
Section 3: The findings for an Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) request are outlined in
Section 94.06.01(B)(3) (Minor Modifications) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC), and
the ARC finds as follows:
1. The requested minor modification is consistent with the general plan, applicable
specific plan(s) and overall objectives of the zoning ordinance.
The approval of this AMM application is requested for the proposed 15.2-foot front yard
setback instead of the 25-foot-minimum required by the Desert Palisades Specific Plan
in accordance with Palm Springs Zoning Code Section 94.06.01(A)(10). The approval
of this AMM application will allow the development of a single-family residence ,on a
hillside lot, which is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan, zoning
ordinance, and Desert Palisades Specific Plan.
2. The neighboring properties will not be adversely affected as a result of the
approval or conditional approval of the minor modification.
The applicant is seeking AMM approval for a front yard setback reduction for the
southeast corner of the proposed residence only, which includes a small portion of a
structural wall and roof overhang. The setback reduction is not requested for an
enclosed structure; therefore, the visual impact of the area for which this yard setback
reduction is requested will be minimal. The project proposes a side yard setback which
fully conforms to the development standard, and the 7.5-foot-wide non -build buffer
provides additional space between the project area and neighboring property. The
adjacent property to the south will not be affected by the approval of this AMM because
of the location of the structural wall and roof overhang. The approval of this AMM
application will not adversely affect the neighboring properties.
3. The approval or conditional approval of the minor modification will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or
working on the site or in the vicinity.
Architectural Review Committee Resolution No. 1016
Case 3.4336 MAJ & Case 7.1658 AMM — 2306 Monument Court
September 19, 2022
Page 3 of 3
The approval of this AMM application will not affect or alter the single-family residential
use of the subject property. The proposed residence will be required to be constructed
in accordance with the applicable zoning code regulations and the California Building
Code for safety compliance. Therefore, it will not adversely affect the individuals who
live or work on the site or in its vicinity.
4. The approval of the minor modification is justified by environmental features, site
conditions, location of existing improvements, or historic development patterns of
the property or neighborhood.
The shape of the project site is unique because of the adjacent street (Monument
Court). The establishment of the 25-foot front yard setback creates a "V-shaped area
which is nonviable for development due to its shape, size, and location. The applicant
is seeking a front yard setback reduction for the southeast corner of the proposed
residence only to compensate the "V-shaped area which is practically undevelopable.
Therefore, the proposed front yard setback reduction is justified by the site's existing
conditions (lot shape).
Section 4: Based upon the foregoing, the Architectural Review Committee hereby approves
Case 3.4336 MAJ and Case 7.1658 AMM for the construction of a 4,754-square-foot single-
family residence with the maximum building height of 12.5 feet and the front yard setback of
15.2 feet, instead of the 25-foot-minimum required by the Desert Palisades Specific Plan
Development Standards, at 2306 Monument Court, subject to the conditions of approval
attached herein as Exhibit A.
ADOPTED this 19th day of September, 2022.
