A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS FINDING THAT THE SALE
OF TWO LOTS, LOCATED AT 4810 CAMINO PAROCELA
(FORMER PALM SPRINGS ANIMAL SHELTER) BY THE
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS CONFORMS TO THE GENERAL
PLAN.
WHEREAS, in 2007 the City of Palm Springs adopted a General Plan which
identifies the lands southwest of the intersection of Gene Autry Trail and Ramon Road,
including property at 4810 Camino Parocela, as Industrial; and
WHEREAS, the Industrial Land Use Designation is described in the General
Plan, as follows:
"Industrial uses typically' include research and development parks, light
manufacturing, laboratories, and industrial services. Retail commercial uses and
offices shall be allowed as ancillary uses to the industrial use to encourage
projects that are self-sustaining. Industrial development is not a primary use
within the City, and any industrial use proposed should not detract from the City's
desire to be a premier resort community. Industrial uses adjacent to the airport
are also included in this designation, such as, but not limited to: aircraft sales,
service, repair and maintenance, washing, painting, storage, tie -down,
hangaring, fueling, flight and ground schools, rental and charter flights, car rental
facilities and all other uses that are customarily incidental to the operation of an
airport and airport -related businesses and activities. New and expanded
industrial uses within the City will expand the City's job base and are therefore
important to the City's overall economic vitality and balance of land use.
and,
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65402 requires that the Palm
Springs Planning Commission review any public disposition of property, including a sale
of property, and consider adoption of a Finding of Conformity with the adopted General
Plan, and
WHEREAS, on August 30, 2012, the Department of Planning Services received
a request from the Economic and Community Development Department for a Finding of
Conformity with the City's General Plan of the City's proposal to sell the two lots located
at 4810 Camino Parocela; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed a staff report and other
materials, including public comments, on the matter; and
Planning Commission Resolution No. 6285
Case 10.473 — Sale of former Animal Shelter
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined the sale conforms to the
Industrial Land Use category of the 2007 General Plan because the site is located
within an established commercial / industrial district of buildings and vacant lots and
sale of the lots would make them available for development under the provisions of the
General Plan's Industrial Land Use classification and the City's M-1 Zone; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has identified the following policy from the
2007 City of Palm Springs General Plan which applies to the City's proposal and hereby
determines the following regarding this policy related to the proposed sale:
LU3.2 Promote opportunities for expansion and revitalization of industrial uses
within the City.
By relocating the animal shelter, the City has removed a non -industrial use (animal
control services) from an industrial area, thereby also removing any potentially adverse
affects of the animal shelter, such as noise. Further, the City has indicated that it has
no need for the property; therefore, its sale and future development under the General
Plan Industrial Land Use category (and under the M-1 Zone) would be an opportunity to
expand and revitalize the surrounding industrial area.
NOW THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs does
hereby adopt a Finding of Conformity with the Palm Springs General Plan for the sale of
two lots located at 4810 Camino Parocela, formerly used as the Palm Springs Animal
Shelter.
ADOPTED this 12th day of September 2012.
