Uniform Building Code, and within the development standards of the City of Palm
Planning Commission Resolution No. 6121 February 24, 2010
Case 3.3395 SFR Page 2 of 3
Springs Zoning Code. The single-family residence is located on the northerly portion of
the site and the accessory dwelling unit is on the southerly portion of the site. 0
2. Harmonious relationship with existing and proposed adjoining
developments and in the context of the immediate neighborhood
community, avoiding both excessive variety and monotonous
repetition, but allowing similarity of style, if warranted;
The surrounding properties are all zoned for single-family hillside residences, with two
of the adjacent properties having existing single-family residences. The project creates
a visual harmony within the neighborhood through a consistency in land use.
3. Maximum height, area, setbacks and overall mass, as well as parts of
any structure (buildings, walls, screens towers or signs) and effective
concealment of all mechanical equipment;
The buildings are proposed at less than the maximum height of eighteen feet and both
buildings are not located in setback areas. The overall mass of the buildings is very
minimal since the roofs are sloped and do not create large bulk. All mechanical
equipment is located on the ground and will be located in yard areas behind block walls.
4. Building design, materials and colors to be sympathetic with desert
surroundings; ARID
5. Harmony of materials, colors and composition of those elements of a
structure, including overhangs, roofs, and substructures which are
visible simultaneously, AND
6. Consistency of composition and treatment,
The proposed structure incorporates a modern influence with simple lines and sloped
roofs. Proposed materials for both structures will consist of stucco, concrete masonry
units, clear anodized aluminum, wood doors, stained wood soffit, and metal roofing.
Colors include natural tans and grays. The building is designed to provide good solar
protection above glass windows and doors through the use of extended roof overhangs
and window 1 door positioning to the north.
7. Location and type of planting, with regard for desert climate conditions.
Preservation of specimen and landmark trees upon a site, with proper
irrigation to insure maintenance of alt plant materials;
The vacant site contains a scattering of indigenous insignificant shrubbery. There are
no specimen trees to preserve. The landscaping consists of an assortment of drought -
tolerant cacti, shrubs, perennials, trees, decomposed granite and landscape rock and
boulders. The proposal uses drip irrigation to supply water to the landscaping.
