THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds as follows:
The final Mitigated Negative Declaration has been completed in compliance with
CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The Planning
Commission has previously reviewed and considered and the City Council has
independently reviewed and considered the information contained in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and finds that it adequately discusses any significant
environmental effects of the proposed project, and that, on the basis of the initial
study and comments received during the public review process, there is no
substantial evidence that there will be any significant adverse environmental effects
as a result of the approval of this project. The City Council further finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects its independent judgment.
Section 2: Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5, the City Council finds that
the proposed change of zone and 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
Section 3: Pursuant to Government Code Section 65567, the City Council finds that
the proposed change of zone and subdivision and the provisions for its
/ � � W
R19928
Page 3
design and improvements are compatible with the objectives policies and
federal land use provided in the City's local open space plan; and
Section 4: Pursuant to Section 94.07.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance, the
City Council finds that with the incorporation of those conditions attached in
Exhibit A:
a. The proposed Change of Zone is in conformity with the General Plan Map
and Report.
The proposed 6 lot single family residential subdivision will be located on a
site which is designated L2 (Low Density Residential -2 dwelling units max.
per acre) pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Map, but is currently
zoned 0-20 (Open Land -one residential dwelling unit per 20 acres) by the
Zoning Ordinance. The proposed change of zone from 0-20 to R-1-A will
provide consistency with the current General Plan designation for the
property.
b. The subject property is suitable forthe uses permitted in the proposed zone,
in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or related uses, and
other considerations deemed relevant by the Commission and Council.
The subject site consists of approximately 4.48 gross acres of land on a site
currently zoned 0-20 (Open Space - one residential unit per 20 acres)
pursuant to the Official Zoning Map of the City of Palm Springs, but has a
designation of L2 (Low Density Residential -2 dwelling units maximum per
acre) pursuant to the City of Palm Springs General Plan Land Use Map.
The objective of the L2 General Plan Designation is to allow for various
types of low-density residential development, including traditional single
family homes, as contemplated for this subdivision in the future. The
proposed density and lot sized contemplated per Tentative Tract Map No.
28668 will comply with the density provisions specified for the L2 zone per
the General Plan and comply with all applicable property development
criteria pursuant to Section 92.01.00 (R-1 Zone) of the Zoning Ordinance.
Access to the proposed subdivision will be provided from Rose Avenue, an
existing private street east of the proposed subdivision, and via a 36-foot
wide access easement across adjacent private property. Properties to the
north, south and east are currently zoned R-1-A or R-1-C and have a
General Plan designation of L2, consistent with the site in question, while
property to the west (to the base of the San Jacinto Mountains) is zoned 0-
20 with a General Plan designation of L2. The development of six future
single family residences on the property as proposed is consistent with the
development pattern and densities established in immediately surrounding
areas.
C. The proposed Change of Zone is necessary and proper at this time, and is
not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent property and residents.
The proposed Change of Zone from 0-20 to R-1-A is necessary to initiate
future development of six single family residences on the 4.48 gross acre
site and to provide consistency with the existing General Plan Designation
of L2. Again, the development of six future single family residences on the
property as proposed is consistent with the development pattern and
densities established in immediately surrounding areas.

Section 5: 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 is consistent with the applicable general and specific '
plans.
The proposed subdivision map is consistent with the density, goals, policies
and objectives for low density residential development established within the
City of Palm Springs General Plan.
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 low-density
residential development.
G. The site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated by
the proposed subdivision.
The site is currently vacant and consists of slope conditions that average
approximately 10 percent. Native scrub vegetation exists in areas on site
where the ground level soil conditions can support plants. Numerous
outcrops of boulders exist across the property. The Zoning Ordinance
requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and minimum width and
depth dimensions of 120 feet. The proposed 6-lot subdivision is located on
4.48 gross acres of [arid with the smallest lot being 0.567 acres, or 24,700 '
square feet. The minimum lot width and depth dimensions are being shown
on all lots within the subdivision. When applying the hillside development
standards to the project, and with the recommended Conditions of Approval
specified in this Resolution, the subdivision meets all applicable
development criteria specified for the R-1-A zone in the Zoning Ordinance,
as is contemplated under the associated Change of Zone application.
Therefore, the site is physically suitable for the type of development
contemplated by the proposed subdivision.
d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development
contemplated by the proposed subdivision.
Again, the site is currently vacant and consists of slope conditions that
average approximately 10 percent. Native scrub vegetation exists in areas
on site where the ground level soil conditions can support plants. Numerous
outcrops of boulders exist across the property. The proposed subdivision is
within an 0-20 zoning classification and designated L2 by the City of Palm
Springs General Plan. According to the General Plan, a low density
development not to exceed 2 units per acre should be provided on the
property. The associated Change of Zone request from 0-20 to R-1-A
would allow for lots of a minimum size of 20,000 square feet to be created
on the subject property, consistent with the proposed Tentative Tract Map
No. 28668 and consistent with the density provisions specified for the '
property, per the L2 parameters of the General Plan. The proposed
subdivision has a density of approximately 1.34 units per gross acre.
Surrounding land uses include single family residential development to the
north and east. Vacant land exists to the south and west. Given these
R19928
Page 5
facts, the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development
contemplated by the proposed subdivision.
e. The design of the subdivision or improvements is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure
fish or wildlife or their habitat.
An environmental assessment has been conducted in regards to the
proposed subdivision and it was determined, with the recommended
mitigations incorporated by reference into the attached Conditions of
Approval (Exhibit A), 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 subdivision has been designed to minimize potential safety issues by
allowing for a vehicular access of appropriate width and grades, with
passing and turnaround capabilities for emergency vehicles, as well as an
on-site retention area capable of retaining excess runoff associated with the
future development of the subdivision. The proposed single family
residential use 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 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 on all surrounding streets or access to utilities required to serve
the subdivision and the immediate area.
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. Currently, the
subject property is vacant and therefore no usage of the roads, sidewalks
and utilities is generated from the subject property. The required
improvements will provide safety benefits to the property owners and will
aesthetically enhance the neighborhood.
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.
