THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Planning Commission Resolution No. 6304 December 5, 2012
Case No. 5.1290 I PD 360 Page 2 of 24
Section 1: Pursuant to the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan and Palm Springs
Zoning Code Section 94.02.00 (Conditional Use Permit) and Section 94.03.00 (Planned
Development District), the Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is
properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by this
Zoning Code.
Pursuant to the Museum Market Plaza Section III.C.1, hotels are permitted
by right, but under Section III.D, hotels are subject to a Planned
Development District permit if they are proposed at more than sixty (60)
feet in height. Planned Development District permits are regulated in the
Palm Springs Zoning Code under Sections 93.03, including Section
93.03.B, which states, "...the proposed uses as shown on the preliminary
development plan for the PD are in conformity with the required findings
and conditions as set forth in Section 94.02.00 (conditional use permit)..."
Consequently, the proposed hotel, with a building height in excess of sixty
(60) feet is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
the zoning code and the project conforms to this finding.
2. That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the
community, is in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the
general plan, and is not detrimental to existing uses or to future uses
specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be
located.
The proposed hotel with ancillary and accessory uses will complement the
retail commercial character of the City's downtown core and have been
demonstrated to be necessary and desirable for the successful
redevelopment of the site and surrounding area. The proposed
development conforms to the land use plan of the Museum Market Plaza
Specific Plan, which is the General Plan for the site. The proposed uses
are expected to attract additional tourists, shoppers, workers and patrons
such that the project will not be detrimental to, but is anticipated to
enhance existing and future uses permitted in the Museum Market Plaza
Specific Plan and adjacent Central Business District zone.
3. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences,
landscaping and other features required in order to adjust such use to
those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood,
The proposed project is located on the westerly half of Block C of the
Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan, which is also proposed under
separate permits to be developed with an open courtyard and other retail
commercial buildings. The site plan proposed for the hotel provides
Planning Commission Resolution No. 6304
Case No. 5.12901 PD 360
December 5, 2012
Page 3 of 24
adequate setbacks and stepbacks in conformance with the development
standards of Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan Section III.D. The
additional height above sixty (60) feet requested by the applicant is
specifically recognized in Specific Plan Section III.D as allowable with
approval of a Planned Development District permit, and this finding is met.
4. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways properly
designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be
generated by the proposed use,
The hotel development is proposed on a site that is surrounded on four
sides by public streets, including two major thoroughfares, N. Palm
Canyon Drive and W. Tahquitz Canyon Way. A two-lane, undivided
collector (Belardo Road) is proposed along the westerly property line, and
a local street ("New Main Street") will be constructed along the north side
of the site. The hotel entry will front on W. Tahquitz Canyon Way and
support services will take access from Belardo Road. The traffic analysis
for the project has concluded that the street pattern will be adequate to
carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use
and this finding is met.
5. That the conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan
are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and general
welfare and may include minor modification of the zone's property
development standards.
Conditions have been developed for the proposed site plan to address all
development issues, including public improvements, mitigation measures,
building construction, design and esthetics, minor modifications of the
development standards of the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan, an
increase in proposed height and all other issues related to the public
health, safety and general welfare, and are attached and made a part of
this resolution; this finding is met.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning
Commission hereby approves Case 5.1290 PDD 361 1 Block C-1, a preliminary Planned
Development District (PDD) within Block C of the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan
area for a hotel of approximately 185 rooms and various accessory and ancillary uses,
including adjustments in certain Specific Plan development standards, including building
height in excess of sixty (60) feet; located at the northeast corner of West Tahquitz
Canyon Way and Belardo Road, as shown in the attached Exhibit A, subject to the
conditions of approval noted in the attached Exhibit B.
