WHEREAS, Stephen Pastore and Monte Yorba (the "Applicant") have filed an application with the City pursuant to Section 94.04.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC) for a Major Architectural application to allow the construction of a roughly 5,500 square foot single family residence on a hillside lot at 3172 Bogert Trail, Zone R-1-13 APN: 512-210-027; and WHEREAS, on August 9, 2010, the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewed the proposed project and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the project to the Planning Commission with the condition that a more hardier species than the Queen Palms be used; and WHEREAS, on May 25, 2011, a public meeting for Major Architectural Application Case 3.3439 SFR was held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including but not limited to the staff report and all written and oral testimony presented. THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the project is a Class III exemption and is categorically exempt per Section 15303(a) (New single-family residence). Section 2: Section 93.13.00 "Hillside Development' requires site plans for hillside development to be reviewed subject to Zoning Code Section 94.04.00(D)(1-9) "Architectural Review". The review of such projects is required "to determine that the proposal will provide a desirable environment for its occupants as well as being compatible with the character of adjacent and surrounding developments, and whether aesthetically it is of good composition, materials, textures and color". Conformance is evaluated, based on consideration of the following: 1. Site layout, orientation, location of structures and relationship to one another and to open spaces and topography. Definition of pedestrian and vehicular areas; i.e., sidewalks as distinct from parking areas, The project proposes a single family house with related landscaping, a motor court, and Planning Commission Resolution No. 6200 May 25, 2011 Case 3.3439 SFR Residence at 3172 Bogert Trail Page 2 of 3 terraces surrounding a swimming pool and water feature. The landscaping is designed to maintain privacy while not blocking views. Areas of the lot with steep slopes are preserved in their natural condition and vegetation. Staff has concluded the project conforms to this statement. 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 project is located in a neighborhood of large custom designed homes, each individual in their design and orientation on the lots. The proposed house is complementary to the existing development, is respectful of views from adjacent un-built lots, and is architecturally unique. Staff believes the project conforms to this statement. 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 proposed residence conforms to all setbacks, height limits, minimum and maximum area limits. Areas where root -mounted equipment (photo -voltaic panels) are located are effectively concealed in conformance to the screening requirements of the Zoning Code. Perimeter walls conform to the development standards of the Zoning Code. Therefore staff has concluded the project conforms to this statement. 4. Building design, materials and colors to be sympathetic with desert surroundings, AND 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 project is proposed using, stucco, a metal Burmuda-style roof, and ground face unpainted concrete block. The materials and colors are warm hued colors considered to be complementary to the desert. Staff has concluded the project is consistent with these statements. 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 all plant materials; The project proposes mostly drought -tolerant plant species deemed appropriate to the desert environment. There are no landmark or specimen plants or trees on the site. The project is therefore deemed in conformance with this statement. 0 Planning Commission Resolution No. 6200 Case 3.3439 SFR Residence at 3172 Bogert Trail May 25, 2011 Page 3 of 3 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves Major Architectural Application (Case 3.3439 SFR), subject to those conditions set forth in the attached Exhibit A, which are to be satisfied unless otherwise specified.
