Council finds that:
a. The use applied for at the location set forth in the application is
properly one for which a Tentative Tract Map/Condominium
Conversion is authorized;
b. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, a Tentative Tract Map facilitating

Ordinance within the R-MHP and W-R-MHP zones;

Resolution 19889
Page 4
b. The design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the
General Plan.
The proposed subdivision map implements design strategies and policies as
referenced in the City of Palm Springs General Plan for medium density residential
development.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated by the
proposed subdivision.
The existing El Dorado Mobile Country Club was completed in 1971 as a 377 space
mobile home park with common recreational amenities on 50.65 acres of land and
was built in compliance with the development standards of Zoning Ordinance in
effect at the time for mobile home parks. With the recommended Conditions of
Approval specified in this Resolution, the subdivision meets all applicable
development criteria specified for the R-MHP and W-R-MHP zones in the Zoning
Ordinance.
d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development
contemplated by the proposed subdivision.
The proposed subdivision is within a R-MHP and W-R-MHP zoning classifications
and designated M15 by the City of Palm Springs General Plan. According to the
General Plan, a medium density development not to exceed 15 units per acre
should be provided on the property. The existing mobile home park was
constructed at a density of approximately 7.44 dwelling units per acre, in
compliance with the density provisions of the General Plan.
e. The design of the subdivision or improvements is not likely to cause substantial

f.. The design of the subdivision or improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
In conjunction with the application, the repair of on-site deteriorated asphalt areas
and curbing through an unsecured improvement agreement and requiring the gated
access on Bolero Road to be upgraded will be required to be addressed prior to
recordation of the final map. With these conditions in place, the design of the
subdivision or improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
g. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired 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
along East Palm Canyon Drive or Bolero Road or access to utilities required to
serve the subdivision and the immediate area.
Resolution 19889
Page 5
h. A nexus or rough proportionality have been established for requirement of
dedication of additional right-of-way to the City or the off-Site improvements as
related to the tentative tract map.
The off-site improvements,which are required by the Zoning Ordinance, are related '
to the project to provide needed services and access for future residents of the site
and will benefit the public at large.
Within the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan, a 101-foot wide half street
(44 feet from centerline to curb face and including a frontage road) is specified for
East Palm Canyon Drive across the project frontage. However, immediately
adjacent to the east and the west of the site are lands within the City of Cathedral
City, where a 55-foot wide half street right of way (without a frontage road) is
specified for East Palm Canyon Drive per the City of Cathedral City General Plan.
Currently, the East Palm Canyon Drive project frontage includes at 38-foot wide
street section (from centerline of street to face of curb) and a total half street right-
of-way of 55 feet. Adjacent properties within the City of Cathedral City on the north
side of East Palm Canyon Drive have a half street pavement width of approximately
44 feet within the right-of-way. If required to be extended across the project
frontage, an expansion to the ultimate Palm Springs right-of-way standards could
not physically serve to benefit the public at large with an expanded right-of-way as
specifically intended per the City of Palm Springs General Plan. This is the only
property within the City of Palm Springs along East Palm Canyon Drive where such
a situation could occur. Conditions requiring the future street pavement expansion
to 44 feet via covenant will serve to provide a matching street section with adjacent
properties in Cathedral City for the future. Therefore, with this condition, the
circulation goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan would not be effected '
by this specific modification to the right-of-way along East Palm Canyon Drive.
Conditions requiring repair or replacement of broken or off-grade curb, gutter and
pavement on East Palm Canyon Drive and Bolero Road are necessary to protect
pedestrians from trip and fall accidents along these streets.
Conditions requiring the developer to accept all flows impinging upon land into an
approved drainage structure is a "safeguard" condition for informational purposes.
The condition requiring the project to conform with Federal Emergency
Management Act (FEMA) and City of Palm Springs Flood Hazard Ordinance is
again primarily for informational purposes forthe prospective condominium owners.
The State of California is responsible for administering these requirements to
protect residents from any potential flood hazards.
Conditions relating to the on-site pavement section standard provides a basis fpr an
all-weather, safe roadway condition that will prove durable and able; to withstand
normal traffic conditions for a number of years.
Section 6: Pursuant to Government Code Section 66474.6, the City Council has
determined that the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into
the existing sewer system will not result in a violation of existing
requirements prescribed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board; andl '
Section 7: Pursuant to California Subdivision Map Act Section 66427, 66451, 66452
and Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 4.08.130, the City Council has
determined that the application was noticed in accordance with all applicable:
provisions and will also require:
