Section 4: Pursuant to Government Code Section 66474,the City Council finds that with
the incorporation of those conditions attached in Exhibit A:
a. The proposed map and planned development district are consistent with the
applicable general and specific plans.
The subject property is designated as M-15(Medium Residential)with 15 units per
acre and is zoned PD 261.The application entails subdividing 1.2 acres into seven
single family residential lots. The project complies with the General Plan
specifications as to density, goals, policies, and objectives for medium density
residential developments. Thus, the proposed project should not be a significant
impact to the surrounding neighborhood.
b. The design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the
General Plan.
The subject site is designated as M-15(Medium Residential-'15 units peracre).The
project will be compatible with the General Plan and th existing land use
designations to the north. There is an existing six foot wall along the eastern
perimeter of the project site which will provide an adequate buffer for the existing
single family residences as specified in the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, Twin
Palms Drive and Camino Real will provide a bufferforthe properties to the west and
north. Thus, the project should be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated by the
proposed subdivision.
The project will comply with all R-2 property development standards with the
exception of lot sizes, front, rear and side yard setbacks. Twin Palms Drive and
Camino Real will provide a buffer for the properties to the west and north.(With the
recommended land use approvals and conditions of approval the subdivision meets
all applicable development criteria specified for the R-2 zone.) Thus, the project
should be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development
contemplated by the proposed subdivision.
The proposed subdivision is within an R-2 zoning classification and designated M-15
by the City of Palm Springs General Plan. According to the General Plan,a medium
density development to exceed fifteen units per acre could be provided on the
property. The proposed subdivision has a density of 5.8 units per acre. Surrounding
land uses include vacant land to the North,R-2,(Limited Multiple Family Residential),
South,apartments,R-2,(Limited Multiple Family Residential),East, R-1-C,(Single
Family Residential), West, vacant and mobile home_ park, R-2 and RMHP
(Residential Mobile Home Park). The seven unit development is an appropriate mix
between the single family residential use,the mobile home park and the apartment
uses.

e. The design of the subdivision or improvements is not likely to cause;substantial
environmental damage orsubstantially and unavoidably injure fish orwiildlife ortheir
habitat.
An environmental assessment has been conducted in regards to the proposed
subdivision and it was determined,with the recommended mitigations incorporated
into the attached conditions of approval, that the subdivision will not have a
detrimental impact on the environment.
f. The design of the subdivision or improvements is not likely to cause serious public
health problems.
The conditions of this project will require an additional four feet of right of way on
Camino Real and the addition of five foot wide sidewalks along Camino Real and
Twin Palms Drive.The subdivision has been designed to minimize potential safety
issues by not allowing individual driveways on the perimeter streets,. Twin Palms
Drive and Camino Real. The proposed single family residential is compatible with
the surrounding neighborhood and is not a use typical of causing serious public
health problems.
g. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with ,
easements acquired at by the public at large, for access through or use of the
property within the proposed subdivision.
The project will not conflict with the existing traffic flow adjacent to the property or
access to utilities required to serve the subdivision and the immediate area.
h. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for
which a Planned Development District is authorized by the City's Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed Planned Development District will allow fora seven(7)lot subdivision
on a 1.2 acre site with reduced lot sizes and setbacks. This use is permitted
pursuant to Section 9403 (Planned Development District).
i. A nexus and rough proportionality have been established for requirement-of
dedication of the additional right-of-way to the City and the off-site improvements as
related to the tentative parcel map.
The off-site improvements,which are required bythe Zoning Ordinance,are related
to the project since the property owners must use Camino Real and Twin Palms
Drive to access the site.Currently,the subject property is vacant and therefore little
or no usage of the roads,sidewalks and utilities is due to the subject property atthis
time. However,the future property owners will benefit from any improvements made
to Camino Real and Twin Palms Drive such as dedication of easements,sidewalks '
and future widening. The required dedication of right-of-wayand improvements will
provide safety benefits to the property owners and will aesthetically enhance the
neighborhood.
