UPHOLDING THE DECISION OF THE DIRECTOR
OF PLANNING SERVICES AND DENYING AN
APPEAL BY DESERT SCAPES WELDING, INC. TO
RELOCATE DRIVEWAY ENTRY GATES AT 1235 &
1233 S. GENE AUTRY TRAIL.
WHEREAS, on August 2, 2012, the Planning Director denied a request to
relocate driveway entry gates at two properties located at 1235 & 1233 S. Gene
Autry Trail, Zone M-1, Section 19; and
WHEREAS, on August 13, 2012, the applicant, Rick Puckett of Desert Scapes
Welding, Inc., filed an appeal request of the Planning Director's decision; and
WHEREAS, Sections 94.04.00(E)(2)(b) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code allows
decisions by the Director of Planning Services to be appealed to the Planning
Commission; and
WHEREAS, on September 12, 2012, the Planning Commission conducted a
public review of the appeal request, including all of the evidence presented in
connection with the matter, including, but not limited to, the staff report prepared
on the matter, and all written and oral testimony presented.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the decision by the Director of Planning Services to deny the
request to relocate driveway entry gates and further restrict off-street parking
access was justified based on the following:
1. When the Planning Commission approved the planned industrial
park in 1989, only a portion of the off-street parking areas were
approved for restricted access. At 1235 S. Gene Autry Trail,
restricted access to parking was approved for six of the thirteen
parking spaces on site; the relocated gate now restricts all but three
spaces. At 1233 S. Gene Autry Trail, restricted access was
approved for six of the fifteen parking spaces; the relocated gate
now restricts all but five spaces.
2. The site plan approved by the Planning Commission allowed a
limited number of parking spaces with restricted access for each
property. Unrestricted parking included a certain number of spaces
for joint use on each property. The further restriction of parking
would impede the joint use of available parking within the industrial
complex beyond that which was granted by the Planning
Commission in 1989. 0
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the
Planning Commission hereby rejects the appeal and upholds the decision of the
Director of Planning Services, denying the request to relocate driveway entry
gates at 1235 & 1233 S. Gene Autry Trail.
ADOPTED this 12"' day of September 2012.
