35.
WHEREAS, Lorrie and Jim Etchason (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 single family residence on a lot at
1451 Bogert Trail, Zone R-1-B APN: 512-210-049; and
WHEREAS, on February 6, 2012, the Architectural Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewed
the proposed project and voted 6-1 (Ortega opposed) to recommend approval of the
project to the Planning Commission with the comment that the applicant should review
the placement of trees such that they are not crowding each other at maturity; and
WHEREAS, on February 22, 2012, a public meeting for Major Architectural Application
Case 3.3531 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: Tract Map 18087 requires proposed development within the tract 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 cola''. Conformance is evaluated, based on
consideration of the following:
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, paved drives, and
terraces surrounding a swimming pool. The project conforms to the setbacks and
Planning Commission Resolution No. 6251 February 22, 2012
Case 3.3531 SFR A single family residence at 1451 Bogert Trail Page 2 of 3
requirements for open space and yards. The landscaping is designed to maintain
privacy while not blocking views. The Planning Commission 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, and is respectful of views from adjacent
unbuilt lots. 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. Perimeter walls conform to the development standards of the Zoning Code.
Therefore the Planning Commission has concluded the project conforms to this I®
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 simple volumes clad in stucco. The materials and colors are
warm hued colors considered to be complementary to the desert. 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.
