PUBLIC HEARINGS
CASE 5.0013-CUP - Application by JAMES HOUSTON_for a Conditional Use Permit
to allow night lighting for a tennis court located on the south side of
Via Lola, between North Palm Canyon Drive and Cahuilla Road, R-1--C Zone,
Section 10.
Planning Director stated that this item had been continued from the July 13,
meeting because no response had been received from adjacent property owners
to the east' who had voiced concern when the item had been on the agenda in
1976, to allow shrubs and trees on- the site to grog, and to allow out of
town property owners enough time to return to Palm Springs after notifica-
tion by the City of a public hearing.
Planning Director then read previous recommendations made on this project
by the Development Committee and stated that one letter had been received
in opposition to the proposed project, that of Joseph W. Lowell . Planning
Director further stated that the condominium property owners had not been
listed by the title company as property owners in the 400' area because
taxes had been paid under one name instead of each owner.
Planning Director then circulated a photograph showing how the shrubbery
has grown since the time of the first application and then stated that
the applicant could not attend the meeting and had requested that a conti-
nuance be granted if there was a possibility of the conditional use permit
being denied.
Planning Director also stated that staff's opinion was that the lighting
scheme proposed was inadequate, and that the applicant should provide line
of sight studies of the lighting plan as it affects the condominium owners
and that alternate types of lighting should be explored by the applicant,
Commissioner Lapham asked if the 24 condominium owners had now been noticed,
Planning Director stated that the list would be furnished by the homeowners'
association after the meeting.
Commissioner Ehrens asked if names are received and letters sent out, would
the public hearing have to be held within a certain length of time.
Planning Director stated that the City has met its legal responsibility inso-
far as noticing and that the 24 property owners would be notified additionally,
and that the hearing on this item should be continued to the October 26, 1977,
meeting.
Acting Chairman declared the hearing open, and the following person spoke from
the audience in opposition:
Joseph W. Lowell , 197 Via Lola, #12 stated that the condominium property owners
had understood that the tennis court was to be used for giving tennis lesson-s
which would add to the noise and confusion, and that he would like to see
the application turned down finally if the court is to be used for lessons.
He also stated that he wouldlike a continuance of 60 days so that the owners
could be notified and have.-an opportunity to return.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ITEMS CONSENT AGENDA
Environmental evaluation reports were received by the Commissioners for
their review and study prior to the Planning Commission meeting. Further
review may be dispensed with and all items approved by motion.
CASE 5.0029-CZ - Application by ROSE AND SAM MINASH for a change of zone from
W-0-5 to R-4, C-2, M-1 . Property located on Bogie Road between Vista Chino
and Ramon Road, W-0-5, Section 7.
CASE 5.0030-CZ - Application 4Y TOWNHOUSE BUILDERS for a change of zone from
R-G-A (8) to C-1 . Property located on north side of East alm anyo` n-'Fi, ive
and Cherokee Way, Section 30.
The following was received from the Tribal Council re:. Case 5,0030-CZ:
"The Tribal Council , in accordance with recommendations of the
Indian Planning Commission, has consistently supported the change
of zone as now requested.
For example, the Tribal Council last advised the City of Palm
Springs on September 13, 1977, as follows:
' Item No. 2 - Case 5.005 - Conditional Use Permit, N/W corner
East Palm Canyon Drive and Cherokee Way.
Under dates of August 9, and August 23, 1977, the Tribal Council
has advised the City of Palm Springs in the instant Case No, 5.005,
as follows:
'The Tribal Council has consistently approved a commercial zone on
the subject property, in agreement with the former commercial zone
applying prior to 1973. Most recently, the Tribal Council has ap-
proved (July 12, 1977) the filing of a negative impact report on
the instant case. Further, said Tribal Council has, in accordance
with recommendations of the Indian Planning Commission, approved
the above request. '
�. September 28, 1977 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Page 4
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ITEMS (Continued)
CASE 5.0030-CZ (Continued)
On this date, September 13, the Tribal Council has reiterated
the latter position. Notwithstanding such advice, the City
Planning Commission is relying on wholly fanciful and unsupported
conclusions in disapproving the request, according to a draft
of Resolution No. 1963.
There has been no fact or related information which even remotely
justifies a City Planning Commission conclusion of unreasonable
or excessive traffic problems if the application is approved.
Further, the latter Commission has not indicated where "the sensi-
tive uses" it purports to protect are located. Such fantasizing
disregards the fact that the request has been supported by adja-
cent property owners, as well as the fact that occupied commercial
zones exist directly opposite on the south side of E. Palm Canyon
Drive; it ignores the former and historical commercial zoning
appliable to the property, and to the use thereof. for commercial
purposes, both situations preceding the undisclosed- "sensitive uses".
The use of adequate screening facilities can be required, thus refu-
ting any conclusion that one site should be selected over another
based on the ability to screen or "buffer".
The proposed City Planning Commission resolution, if adopted, would
grossly discriminate against the Indian-trust land involved, through
reliance upon unsupported alleged traffic problems, when in all
cases the development of a new shopping center, as approved in Case
5.998, must introduce new traffic problems, congestion, and hazard,
which would be avoidable by development as proposed in Case 5.005. 1
On this date, and in reference to the present Environmental Assessment
proceeding, the Tribal Council recommends acceptance of a Negative
Impact Report."
Planning Director stated that staff wanted to defer environmental assessment
on Cases Nos. 5.0029-CZ and 5.0030-CZ until it is determined whether or
not a General Plan amendment should be initiated.
These items were continued to the October 26, 1977, meeting.
Motion was made by Ehrens, seconded by Allan (Chase and Ortner absent) and
unanimously carried that a draft negative- declaration be prepared for public
review and comment on the following items;
