Case No. 5.0845 - PD-262 was held by the City Council in accordance with applicable law;
and
WHEREAS, the proposed project is considered a "project" pursuant to the terms of the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), and an Environmental Assessment has
been prepared for this project and has been distributed for public review and comment in
accordance with CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence
presented in connection with the meeting on the Project, including but not limited to the staff
report, all environmental data including, the environmental assessment prepared for the

THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds as follows:
Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds that Tentative Tract Map 29632'and Case
No. 5.0845 - PD-262 are in compliance with the Final Environmental Impact Report
that was prepared for the Canyon Park Resort and Spa Specific Plan project and
was certified and adopted on July 19, 1991 and the additional Mitigated Negative
Declaration, certified and adopted on January 19,1994 is in compliance with CEQA,
the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA Guidelines; the FEIR and MND
adequately address the general environmental setting of the proposed Project, its
significant environmental impacts, and the alternatives and mitigation measures
related to each significant environmental effect for the proposed Project. The City
Council has independently reviewed and considered Tentative Tract Map 29632 and
Case No. 5.0845 - PD-262 and determined that the plans are in conformance with

Resolution for the City Council Meeting of October 4, 2000
the information contained in the certified Final Environmental Impact Report and
Mitigated Negative Declaration. The City Council further finds that the decision
reflects its independent judgement.
Section 2: The City Council finds that there is no new substantial evidence with
respect to environmental effects that has been submitted to the City
and there are no substantial changes with respect to the project that
would require revisions to the certified FEIR and MND.. The current
project proposes a forty-eight (48) residential lot subdivision which
is seven (7) fewer homes than the project analyzed in the original
FEIR and the MND. Since the potential for impacts has been
lessened there is no need for further environmental review.
Section 3: The City Council finds that a mitigation monitoring program was
previously adopted pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21081.6 in order to assure compliance with the above referenced
mitigation measures during Project implementation. This mitigation
monitoring program is included as a condition of approval set forth
in the attached Exhibit A. The City Council finds that the potential for
an impact is even less than what was analyzed in the certified FEIR
and MND. Thus, no further mitigation is necessary.
Section 4: Pursuant to government 66473.5 the City Council finds that the
proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and
improvement are compatible with the objectives, policies and general
land uses and programs provided in the City's General Plan and any
applicable specific plan; and
Section 5: Pursuant to Government Code Section 65567, the City Council finds
that the proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and
improvements are compatible with the objectives, policies and
general land use provided in the City's local open space plan; and
Section 6: Pursuant to Government Code (Subdivision Map Act) Section 66474,
the City Council finds that with the incorporation of those conditions
attached in Exhibit A:
a. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with applicable general and.
specific plans.
The proposed project is consistent with land use designations in SP-1 and is similar
to the previously approved tentative tract map. The project represents a reduced
density from a previously approved subdivision, and is therefore within the density
parameters of SP-1. Thus, the project is consistent with the Generall Plan and SP-
1. If approved, the environmental and land use impacts have been fully disclosed
in the previous FEIR and MND. The project is consistent with the General Plan, SP-
1, and zoning designations.

Resolution for the City Council Meeting of October 4, 2000
b. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5, the City Council finds that the
proposed subdivision, TTM 29632 and Case No. 5.0845 - PD -262 and the
provisions for its design and improvement are compatible with objectives, policies,
and general land uses and programs provided in the City's General Plan and SP-1
approved by the City Council on July 19, 1991 as well as the FEIR and MND. All
street, drainage, and utilities improvements are subject to the standards of the
General Plan and the Conditions of Approval and mitigation measures associated
with TTM 29632 and Case No. 5.0845 - PD-262. A hydrology study has been done
to analyze the necessary drainage pattern. The storm water from the Bella Monte
subdivision will be channeled via an engineered, underground drainage system for
release into the established natural drainage. The applicant is required to obtain
the necessary approvals from all utility companies. An equestrian trail is provided
on Acanto Drive. The project improvements, as conditioned, are consistent with the
General Plan and SP-1.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated by
the proposed subdivision.
The property is 25.01 acres of relatively flat desert with vegetation characteristic of
�I the Creosote Scrub Community which is pervasive throughout the southwestern
United States. The location was previously approved for development of fifty-five
(55) lot residential subdivision and is now proposed to be developed at forty-eight
(48) residential lots. There will be no incompatibility with the existing land use in the
vicinity because the areas to the north, east and west are included in SP-1 and are
also designated for single family residential development. The area to the south is
a 45 lot single family subdivision with lots ranging in size from 25,000 to 29,600
square feet. Homes are primarily one-story but several homes have partial two-
story elements. Adjacent homes located at the northeast corner are on lots ranging
from 15,000 to 21,000 square feet and are limited in height to approximately 18 ft.
Based upon this relationship, the proposed 22 ft. high structures could affect views
from adjoining properties. Considering lot sizes and setbacks, and proposed pad
elevations, this height difference will not cause a significant land use incompatibility
or impact The current proposal is within all development parameters previously
analyzed and approved in SP-1, the FEIR and the MND. Thus, the type of
development proposed is suitable for the site.
d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development
contemplated by the proposed subdivision.
The General Plan land use designation for the subject property is L-2 (Very -Low
Density Residential) which provides for the development of a maximum of two (2)
dwelling units per acre. The General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance have been
augmented by SP-1. Canyon Park Resort and Spa Specific Plan SP-1 is intended
to implement the goals policies and objectives of the General Plan. The SP-1 has
clustered density into various development areas thereby providing larger clusters
of specifically desired uses such as recreation. The SP-1 was developed to cluster
densities to provide for golf, hotel and residential uses. The subject property is part
of a larger residential area and is designated SFR and recreation on the SP. The

TTM 29632 and Case No. 5.0845 - PD-262
Resolution for the City Council Meeting of October 4, 2000 '
previous subdivision approval on TTM 20603 allowed for a density of 2.2 units per
acre while the current proposal, (TTM 29632), allows for 1.92 units per acre. The
proposed use is a logical extension of development in the City.
SP-1 discussed the average lot size, land area and number of lots within each
planning area. During development of SP-1, including Planning Commission
meetings, it was clear that the final design (including lot size) of each planning area
could be altered to meet planning, market and other concerns. The proposal
complies with the lot area, lot configuration and other SP-1 criteria. The previously
approved subdivision, TTM 20603, zoned SP-1, allocated fifty-five (55) units to this
site. The current development proposal is also designed as a gated, walled
community but contains seven less units (48 vs. 55) than the previously approved
subdivision. In view of the above facts the site is suitable for the proposed density.
e. The design of the proposed subdivision or the proposed
improvements are: not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat.
There is no new substantial evidence with respect to environmental effects that has
been submitted to the City and there are no substantial changes with respect to the
project that would require revisions to the certified FEIR and MND.
The (FEIR)and MND certified by the City Council adequately address; all potential ,
impacts and incorporated mitigation measures associated with the subject property.
There is no new substantial evidence with respect to environmental effects that has
been submitted to the City and there are no substantial changes with respect to the
project that would require revisions to the certified FEIR or MND. Since the scope
of the project has been reduced, the potential for impacts has been lessened in
comparison to what the certified FOR analyzed. Thus, no further environmental
review is necessary. If significant changes are in later phases, additional
environmental review will be undertaken at that time.
The FEIR and the MND fully analyzed the Peninsular Bighorn Sheep with respect
to potential impacts and mitigation measures.
The certified FEIR and MND fully analyzed the Peninsular bighorn sheep with
respect to potential impacts and mitigation measures. The Fish and Wildlife Service,
has finished a Draft Peninsular Bighorn Sheep Recovery Plan. There is no new
information and the document remains in a draft format. The proposed project is
not within what the Draft Recovery Plan defines as essential habitat. Essential
habitat is defined as being within one-half mile of mountains with a 20% slope or
greater. Under this criteria, the :subject property is either outside this area or near
the assumed 0.5 mile habitat -modeled boundary. As previously described, there
are existing and approved (recorded final tract maps) developments located
between the subject property and hillside lands with a 20% or greater slope. '
However, according to the Draft Recovery Plan, even when finalized, the Final
Recovery Plan will not require any party to undertake any specific action. The Plan
does not affect private land. The Final Recovery Plan is primarily prepared for
purposes of federal action and is not binding on local agencies. Because the
content of the Final Recovery Plan is not currently known, it is not possible, at this

point, to speculate as to whether or not the proposed project will be inconsistent
with the Final Recovery Plan. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15145, further
discussion of this impact is inappropriate. On September 26, 2000 revised
Essential Habitat Maps were reviewed and the subject property was not designated
as Essential Habitat.
The proposed Critical Habitat Designation has recently been released. Based upon
a brief review of the proposed Critical Habitat Map at the FWS Public Hearing on
July 20, 2000, the subject property is not within proposed critical habitat.
Additionally, FWS has stated (July 5, 2000 Notice, and Ken Berg, Field Supervisior,
July 20, 2000 Public Hearing Testimony) that critical habitat does not require
landowners to carry out any special management actions or restrict the use of the
land. No federal permits or funding are necessary for the project to proceed.
Based upon the proposed Critical Habitat Map, it appears that this proposed action
will have no effect on the subject property.
The subject property is located in the center of the mouth of Palm Canyon, roughly
midway between San Jacinto Mountains and Northern Santa Rosa Mountains. The
property has existing development and a roadway located to the south (Andreas
Ranch, Bella Monte, and the Pond Estate). To the north there is an existing golf
course and two single family residential subdivisions (Milner Tract and Andreas
Palms). The property to the east is currently being developed with a single family
estate. These developments which are contiguous to the subject property extend
from South Palm Canyon on the west to the Palm Canyon Wash on the east. While
a portion of this area is currently vacant, existing, planned, and proposed projects
in this area will preclude the use of the area as a viable and safe wildlife corridor.
The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
All proposed conditions of approval are necessary to ensure public health and
safety including, but not limited to, the application of the Uniform Building Code
Seismic Safety Standards, and the City of Palm Springs Fugitive Dust Control
Ordinance.
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, property within the proposed subdivision.
An equestrian easement with landscaping is proposed fronting on Acanto Drive.
The property is also conditioned to provide a drainage easement for the established
drainage pattern coming from Bella Monte, south of Acanto Drive. These required
easements will alleviate any potential easement conflicts.

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 property frontage will provide an equestrian path and landscaped area. The
required improvements will provide safety benefits to the property owners and will
aesthetically enhance the neighborhood. The Acanto Road right-of-way is designed
in accordance with City plans and specifications and will transition to the existing
private easement at a point easterly of the projects entry driveway.
Section 7: Pursuant to Section 9403.00 of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council finds
that with the incorporation of those conditions attached in Exhibit A:
a. 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 and SP-1.
The proposed Planned Development District (PD) will allow for an integrated
subdivision. This will include: aesthetically compatible walls, guardhouse,
landscaping, and an equestrian trail. The PD is the appropriate land use review for
this development and was specifically defined in SP-1 as the appropriate land use
entitlement permit.
b. 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 project is consistent with land use designations in the General Plan
and SP-1 and is similar to the previously approved Tentative Tract Map 20603, The
project represents a reduced density from a previously approved subdivision, and
is therefore within the density parameters of SP-1. If approved, the environmental
and land use impacts have been fully disclosed in the previous FEIR and the MND.
The project is consistent with the General Plan, SP-1 and zoning designations.
There will be no incompatibility with the existing land use in the vicinity because the
areas to the north, east and west are included in SP-1 and are also designed for
single family residential development. The area to the south is a 45 lot single family,
subdivision with lots ranging in size from 25,000 to 29,600 square feet. Homes are
primarily one-story but several homes have partial two-story elements. Adjacent
homes located at the northeast corner are on lots ranging from 15,000 to 21.000
square feet and are limited in height to approximately 18 ft. Based upon this
relationship, the proposed 22 ft. high structures could affect views from adjoining
properties. Considering lot sizes and setbacks, and proposed pad elevations, this
height difference will not cause a significant land use incompatibility or impact The
current proposal is within all development parameters previously analyzed and ,
approved in the FEIR and MND. 'Thus, the type of development: proposed is
suitable for the site.
C. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards,
setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, and other features required in order to

adjust said use to those existing or permitted future uses of land in the
neighborhood.
Bergheer California has submitted an application for Tentative Parcel Map 29632
and Case No. 5.0845 - PD-262 requesting the entitlement of subdividing an
existing 25.01 acre, SP-1 zoned lot into forty-eight (48) single family residential lots.
The lots average 18,500 square feet with the smallest lot being 17,355 square feet
and the largest lot being 24,772 square feet. The property is zoned SP-1 and the
property is designated for up to 55 dwelling units. The General Plan designation is
SP-1. Specific Plan implementation is to be by planned development district and
subdivision maps.
Access to the property is from a single gated entry on Acanto Drive, which is
projected to be a fifty (50) foot collector on the General Plan. The gated entry
feature includes a guardhouse and landscaping. Existing improvements consist of
a 2-lane undivided, unstriped roadway. Internal circulation consists of a series of
streets and cul-de-sacs. Roadways, landscaping, drainage features, the
guardhouse/entry lot and the equestrian trail will be privately maintained.
The PD is requesting minor adjustments to the R-1-13 property development
standards as follows: 1) guesthouse setback reductions of five (5) feet into the
required front yard setback of twenty-five (25) feet. This request would be on an
individual lot basis as guesthouses are optional. 2) Maximum building height of
twenty-two (22) feet above approved grading plan pad elevations (single story
houses only). 3) The perimeter wall along Acanto Drive, adjacent to the horse trail,
is proposed to be six (6) to eight (8) feet high with the eight (8) foot high section to
be no more than 40% of the total length of the Acanto wall frontage. The remaining
perimeter is proposed to have walls of six (6) feet in height. All other property
development standards for the R-1-B zone will be complied with. These
modifications are consistent with the SP-1 and are minor adjustments to existing
property development standards.
A similar, fifty-five (55) lot residential subdivision was previously approved by the
City Council on this site on November 3, 1993.
d. 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 proposed project is forecast to generate 480 additional daily trips, (ADT's).
This volume of traffic would not create traffic congestion in that the current Level of
Service (LOS) is "A" the least impacted designation for traffic volume. The adjacent
existing and proposed street network have adequate capacity to handle anticipated
traffic volumes.
The project would not create traffic hazard problems based upon the judgment
of the Director of Planning and Building and the City Engineer. South Palm Canyon
Drive and Acanto Drive are the ingress and egress streets. Therefore, there is no
potential for a significant effect on the environment due to problems associated with
access. Circulation within the project site will be adequate based upon the judgment
of the City Engineer and the Department of Planning and Building. The circulation

pattern will provide adequate emergency access and access to nearby uses.
Parking associated with the project is in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and
therefore there is no potential for a significant affect on the environment. The
proposed residential project will not result in increased traffic hazards in that the City
Engineer and Planning staff have reviewed the site plan for traffic safety. There will
be no conflicts with adopted policies supporting alternative transportation. The
proposed project is located in an urbanized area of the City with existing street
access.
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 modifications of the zone's property development standards.
All proposed conditions of approval are necessary to ensure public health and
safety including, but not limited Ito, the application of the Uniform Building Code
Seismic Safety Standards, and the City of Palm Springs Fugitive Dust Control
Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City Council
approves Tentative Tract Map 29632 and Case No. 5.0845 - PD-262 subject to those
conditions set forth in the Exhibit A, as in file in the Office of the City Clerk, which are to be
satisfied prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy unless otherwise specified.
