A. Studio AR & D Architects, Inc. ("Applicant"), on behalf of Henri and Jennifer Courpron
("Owners"), filed a Major Architectural (MAJ) application, Case 3.4308 MAJ, with the City,
pursuant to the Desert Palisades Specific Plan, and Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC)

Springs Zoning Code, for construction of a 5,436-square-foot single-family residence with a
922-square-foot garage and a 632-square-foot detached garage on a hillside property located
at 2363 Winter Sun Drive ("the Project").
B. Studio AR & D Architects, Inc. ("Applicant"), on behalf of Henri and Jennifer Courpron
("Owners"), filed an Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) application, Case 7.1650 AMM,
with the City, pursuant to Palm Springs Zoning Code Section 94.06.01(A)(10), to request the
maximum building height of 19.1 feet instead of the 18-foot-maximum building height required
by the Desert Palisades Specific Plan Development Standards for construction of a 5,436-
square-foot single-family residence with a 922-square-foot garage and a 632-square-foot
detached garage on a hillside property located at 2363 Winter Sun Drive ("the Project").
C. On April 8, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2042, amending Section
94.04.00 of the PSZC to reassign review of Major Architectural Review (MAJ) applications
from the City's Planning Commission to the City's Architectural Review Committee.
D. On March 22, 2022, City staff notified the owners of properties immediately adjacent to
the Project site of the scheduling of an Architectural Review Committee meeting to consider
the subject application, pursuant to PSZC 93.13.00 (13,1,c).
E. On April 4, 2022, the City's Architectural Review Committee held a public meeting in
accordance with applicable public law. At said meeting, the Architectural Review Committee
carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the Project,
including, but not limited to, the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented.
THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RESOLVES:
Architectural Review Committee Resolution No. 1007 April 4, 2022
Case 3.4308 MAJ & Case 7.1650 AMM — 2363 Winter Sun Drive Page 2 of 3
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 19.1-foot building
height for a hillside single-family residence 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 and zoning ordinance.
2. The neighboring properties will not be adversely affected as a result of the
approval or conditional approval of the minor modification.
The proposed residence generally retains the building height of less than 18 feet,
except for its east end where a portion of the residence projects over a drainage
channel. The adjacent lot to the east (Lot 10) is undeveloped and located at lower
elevation, and there will be sufficient separation distance provided between the project
site and the future residence on Lot 10 because of the non -build easement and side
yard setback. Therefore, 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.
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.

Case 3.4308 MAJ & Case 7.1650 AMM — 2363 Winter Sun Drive

Page 3 of 3
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 geography of the project site is complex. In addition to the hillside slope, there are
two (2) natural drainage channels that run through the site. The maximum building
height of 19.1 feet is measured at the top of the northeast corner of the residence which
projects over one of the drainage channels. The proposed residence largely retains the
building height of 18 feet, and only a limited area exceeds the maximum building height
of 18 feet. Therefore, staff finds that the proposed maximum building height of 19.1 feet
is justified by site conditions.
Section 4: Based upon the foregoing, the Architectural Review Committee hereby approves
Case 3.4308 MAJ and Case 7.1650 AMM for construction of a 5,436-square-foot single-family
residence with a 922-square-foot garage and a 632-square-foot detached garage with the
maximum building height of 19.1 feet on a 49,712-square-foot undeveloped hillside lot located
at 2363 Winter Sun Drive, subject to the conditions of approval attached herein as Exhibit A.
ADOPTED this 4th day of April, 2022.
