G. Section 94.03.00(F) — Criteria and Findings... requires that the Planning
Commission shall not approve a final development plan unless certain findings are
made.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1:
In response to the criteria in Section 94.03.00(F) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, the
Planning Commission finds that:
1. The final development plan is insubstantial conformance with the preliminary
development plan.
As indicated in more detail in the staff report, the proposed final development plans are
consistent with the originally approved preliminary development plans and the Miralon
architectural and landscape design guidelines, with respect to use, density, design,
style, materials, colors, and other development standards. The proposed 191 new
homes will be constructed on 40-foot and 45-foot -wide lots that were previously created
when the City Council approved the tract map for the project in 2004. The final map of
this phase was recorded in 2006. The site plan and the tract map layout will remain the
same.
2. The final development plan is in substantial conformance with al/ other
associated entitlements for the development, and
As designed and proposed, the final development plans are in substantial conformance
in terms of the proposed residential use, density, design, style, materials, colors, and
development standards of the Miralon architectural and landscape design guidelines as
approved in the preliminary planned development district plans. The conditions of
approval for the overall Miralon project calls for single -story buildings at the perimeter of
the property and two-story buildings on the interior; the proposed 191 homes will be
adhering to this requirement.
3. The final development plan incorporates all modifications and conditions to
the preliminary development plan as approved by the City Council
The proposed final development plan has incorporated all the conditions and
development standards previously approved by the City Council. All previous comments
from the Planning Commission and the subcommittee at the preliminary development
review process have also been incorporated into the final development plan as well.
Therefore, when evaluated against the Miralon design guidelines and conditions from
the preliminary plans, the proposed final development plans for the 191 homes meet all
the required findings for a substantial conformance.
Section 2:
An Addendum to the MND was previously prepared which finds that the proposed
Planning Commission Resolution No. 6931 October 12, 2022
5.0982-PDD 290 Final PDD Plans for 191 Single -Family Residential Units by Avalon 1150, LLC Page 3 of 3
project will not result in any new significant environmental impacts or substantially
increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts as compared to the
previously approved project. Furthermore, the Addendum concludes that none of the
conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for preparation of
a subsequent MND or Environmental Impact Report have occurred and therefore the
Addendum to the MND is appropriate to satisfy CEQA requirements for the proposed
final development plans within Phase 2 of the Miralon development.
Section 3:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning
Commission finds that the final development plans for the proposed 191 single-family
residential units to be built on 40-foot and 45-foot-wide lots within Phase 2 of the site by
Avalon 1150, LLC, are in substantial conformance with the preliminary planned
development district and the Miralon architectural and landscape design guidelines.
ADOPTED this 12th day of October, 2022.
