1. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and
specific plans as specific in Section 65451;
The project is subject to the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan ("Specific
Plan'), which governs as both general plan and specific plan (zoning) for
the site. The proposed map implements the land use and development
objectives of the Specific Plan by establishing a public street grid within
the boundaries of the site and in alignment with surrounding streets. The
plan further establishes lots of record for the redevelopment of small
commercial blocks in the City's downtown core, which is a primary
objective of the specific plan. Consequently, the proposed map is
consistent with the applicable general and specific plans, and this finding
is not met.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not
consistent with applicable general and specific plans;
The design of the proposed subdivision and the associated improvements
will implement the goals and objectives of the applicable Museum Market
Plaza Specific Plan in that public streets, sidewalks, parking facilities and
related public facilities will be established within the project boundaries in
support of future private development. The design of the street grid will
provide vehicular access and parking, as well as pedestrian access in
alignment with surrounding streets and sidewalks ways that will extend the
urban character of the surrounding area into the site. Consequently, the
design of the proposed subdivision and the associated improvements are
consistent with the applicable general and specific plans, and this finding
is not met.
3. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development;
The site is slightly more than thirteen (13) acres and is generally flat with a
gentle slope from north to south and west to east. Existing improvements
on the site include underground parking facilities, which are to be retained
and an enclosed retail shopping center, which will be largely demolished.
Surrounding areas are developed with urban commercial buildings and
uses. The site will accommodate the proposed subdivision of fourteen
private lots and associated public streets, and the subdivision will facilitate
re -use of the site for an expansion of the City's downtown retail
commercial core, as intended by the applicable Museum Market Plaza
Specific Plan. Consequently, the site is physically suitable for the type of
development, and this finding is not met.

4. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of
development,
The subdivision proposes to establish public streets and public and private
parcels within a flat, gently sloping site to expand the existing downtown
core. The proposed density of development will included existing
underground parking; one, two and three story buildings; as well as a
multi -story hotel and future development on fourteen parcels. The site is
bordered by two major thoroughfares (N. Palm Canyon Drive and West
Tahquitz Canyon Way), and additional local public streets will be
constructed. Adequate lot sizes, access and parking are provided for the
proposed density of development. Consequently, the site is physically
suitable for the proposed density of development and this finding is not
met.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely
to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, -
The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements have been
evaluated under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and an Environmental Impact Report, Statement of Overriding
Considerations, Mitigation Monitoring Program and subsequent EIR
Addendum have been prepared and certified for the proposed subdivision.
No substantial environmental damage nor substantially or avoidable injury
to fish, wildlife or their habitat is expected to occur. Consequently, this
finding is not met.
6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to
cause serious public health problems,
No serious public health problems have been identified in the certified
Environmental Impact Report, Statement of Overriding Considerations,
Mitigation Monitoring Program or subsequent EIR Addendum prepared for
the proposed subdivision and its anticipated improvements.
Consequently, this finding is not met.
7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict
with easement, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use
of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the
governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for
access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially
equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection
shall apply only to easement of record or to easement established by
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby

Commission hereby approves Tentative Parcel Map No. 36446 to subdivide the
