CASE NO. 5.0522-A-PD 205 - APPLICATION BY LEADS, INC. FOR A ONE (1)
YEAR TIME EXTENSION FOR AN APPROVED REVISED PRELIMINARY
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER
OF SUNRISE WAY AND TAHQUITZ CANYON WAY, C-1-AA, R-4-VP AND
RESORT OVERLAY ZONES, SECTION 14.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the second 12-month time extension(from September 4,
1999 to September 4, 2000) for an approved revised planned development district (PD
205), subject to conditions contained in the attached Resolution of Approval.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Mr. Daryl Christian of the Watson Group, Inc. on behalf of the owner,
American Stores Properties, Inc., has filed the second possible 12 month time extension
for an approved preliminary planned development located on a 3.8 acre site at the
northwest corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Sunrise Way. The extension was filed with
the City pursuant to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.The Planning Commission
originally reviewed and recommended approval of the revised PD on July 24, 1996 and
the City Council approved the revised PD application at its meeting on September 4, 1996.
Approval of the revised PD included Phase One development of a 16,853 square foot Sav-
On Drug Store with drive-through pharmacy and future development of a 3,500 square foot
drive-through, fast-food restaurant pad and a 5,000 square foot general retail building pad.
In conjunction with the revised PD,the City Council also approved an Ordinance to change
the zoning on the site from C-1-AA and R-4-VP to PD 205 and a Resolution of Public
Convenience and Necessity for alcohol sales at the subject site. The property is currently
zoned C-1-AA and R-4-VP and within the City's Resort Overlay Zone. The site is also
within the Section 14 Specific Plan area, which designates the site as Resort Attraction.
The City of Palm Springs General Plan land use designation for the site is Resort
Commercial and High Density Residential with a Neighborhood Convenience Center
(NCC) overlay designation.
Section 9403.00. H. of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that within two years after the date
of City Council approval of a preliminary planned development, that plans for a final
development plan shall be approved by City Council. As of the writing of this report, final
development plans have not been submitted to staff.
The applicant has stated that the purpose of the time extension request is to allow for the
developer, American Stores, Inc., additional time to determine whether it will be
financially feasible to pursue development of the Sav-On store at this location. The
applicant has recently shownhuerest in development in other areas of the City,but keeping
this application active would maximize the company's future development options. Final
development plans including,but not limited to,site plans,building elevations,floor plans,
grading plans, landscape and irrigation plans, exterior lighting plans and a sign program
will require review of the Planning Commission once they have been submitted to staff.

a3O, Z
On September 2, 1998, the City Council unanimously approved the first one-year time
extension request for the project based on the same justification from the developer as
stated above.
There have been no significant or applicable modifications to the Zoning Ordinance or
General Plan that would cause the PD plans approved by the City Council on September
4, 1996 to not be in compliance with all applicable development criteria and policies.
On August 25, 1999, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to approve the second
one-year time extension request with conditions.

awkward, but could not be avoided, he reviewed proposed architectural and site plans.

acceptable except item 50; that it is understandable that most cities include indemnity
language, but that the applicant wants to be clear that it does not agree with the inclusion;
