THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
r-W Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the Planning Commission finds that the Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately address the general setting of the
project, its potentially significant impacts, and the mitigation measures related to
each significant effect for the proposed project.
The Planning Commission further finds that with the adoption of the proposed
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), potentially significant environmental
impacts resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
The Planning Commission further finds that the modifications to the proposed
General Plan Amendment will have the same or less impact than the project
analyzed in the MND and that no new impacts were identified nor were new
mitigation measures identified.
Section 2: The General Plan Amendment to the General Plan Map designation will replace
the GC (General Commercial) land use designation with the RC (Resort
Commercial) land use designation. This will not allow the residential specific for
the project site only..
The subject area is located at the northeast corner of Indian Canyon Drive and
San Rafael Blvd.
The General Plan Amendment as follows would allow the residential and
commercial land uses as proposed in PDD-315 specific for the project site only.
The text of the General Commercial designation of the General Plan is amended
to add Policy 3.28.2a, which reads as follows:
The approximately 20 acre site located at the northeast corner of Indian Canyon
Avenue and San Rafael Boulevard shall be allowed to develop with residential
uses at the M-15 density (12 du/net ac threshold and 15 du/net ac maximum) per
the development standards of the R-2 zone or per those development standards
approved through a Planned Development District.
Section 3: Pursuant to Government Code Section 66474 (Subdivision Map Act), the
Planning Commission finds that with the incorporation of those conditions
attached in Exhibit A and Exhibit B:
1. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with applicable general and specific
plans.
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan as proposed for
amendment in Section 3. The General Plan designation for the site is CG
General Commercial. The General Plan, as proposed for amendment, allows
residential and commercial development at the proposed specific site only. The
applicant is proposing 211 dwelling units and 10,000 square feet of commercial;
therefore the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The design of improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 the Planning Commission finds
that the proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and improvement
are compatible with the objectives, polices, and general land uses and program
provided in the City's General Plan. All street, drainage, and utilities
improvements will be constructed to the standards of the General Plan and
Conditions of Approval associated with TTM 33577.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development
contemplated by the proposed subdivision,
The project proposes the creation of a residential and commercial map of
approximately 20 acres. The proposed development is a mix of residential and
commercial development, as permitted under the General Plan. The subject
property is surrounded by vacant land, single-family residences, multiple -family
residences, and light industrial.
4. The design of the proposed subdivision or the proposed improvements are not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoid-
ably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The design of the proposed subdivision is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared and with the
incorporated mitigation measures, any environmental impact can be reduced to
less than significant.
5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements must comply with the
conditions of approval including, but not limited to, the application of the Uniform
Building Code Seismic Safety Standards, and the City of Palm Springs Fugitive
Dust Control Ordinance in order to ensure public health and safety.
6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision.
The applicant will be required to construct on and off -site improvements.
Therefore the design and the type of improvements proposed will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large.
4: The Planning Commission finds that the Planned Development District may be
established through procedures of the conditional use permit as set forth in
Section 94.02.00(B).
1. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one
for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this Zoning Code;
The Planned Development Districts is a residential and commercial development,
where the density does not exceed the General Plan requirements and the site is
compatible with the existing or potential development of the surrounding
neighborhoods.
2. That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is
in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the general plan, and is not
detrimental to existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in
which the proposed use is to be located;
The Planned Development District will add to the housing stock available.
Thereby the Planned Development District is desirable for the community and is
in harmony with various elements of the General Plan, and is not detrimental to
existing uses or to future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is to be located.
3. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other
features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future
uses of land in the neighborhood;
The Planned Development District site is approximately 20 acres and will consist
of 211 residential units and 10,000 square feet of commercial. The Planned
Development District site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate such
use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping and other features
required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future uses of
land in the neighborhood.
4. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly
designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated
by the proposed use; 0
The Planned Development District fronts Indian Canyon Drive and San Rafael.
Indian Canyon Drive is a major thoroughfare that is fully developed and San
Rafael is a secondary thoroughfare that is fully developed. Both Indian Canyon
Drive and San Rafael have the capacity to carry the type and quantity of traffic to
be generated by the proposed use.
5. That the conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are
deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare and
may include minor modification of the zone's property development standards.
Such conditions may include:
Section 5: The proposed project has residential and commercial within the C-M Zone. The
C-M Zone prohibits the residential use and allows the commercial use, but the
Planned Development District will define the land uses and the development
standards for the residential and commercial uses. The following table outlines
the development standards for the single-family residences:
Lot Area 866,844 square feet*
Lot Width 1320 feet*
Lot Depth 700 feet*
Density 211 dwelling units
10,000 square feet of commercial
Section 6: The Planning Commission finds that the Planned Development District shall be
approved in lieu of a change of zone as specified in Section 94.07.00. The Zone
change is valid for residential and commercial uses, the Planning Commission
recommends that the City Council approve a Planned Development District in
lieu of a change of zone, subject to the filing of an application pursuant to Section
94.03.00, subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit A and Exhibit B. A
Planned Development District in lieu of a zone change, shall be approved and
adopted by ordinance of the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing the Planning
Commission hereby:
1. Recommend that the City Council ADOPT the Mitigated Negative Declaration and related
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
