THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds that, with the incorporation of 1
proposed mitigation measures, potentially significant environmental impacts
resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance and
therefore recommends adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
project.
Section 2: Pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 9402.00, the City Council finds that:
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.
Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, cluster residential development (single family
residences) is a permitted use within the R-1-C and 0-5 zones.
b. The said use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is
in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan, and is not
detrimental to the existing or future uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the
proposed use is to be located.
The proposed project consists the subdivision of 61.9 acres into 238 lots and the
development of a 238 unit,one and two story,detached single family residential project.
The use is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan, and numerous
improvements, including two recreation areas have been proposed in conjunction with 1
the subject application(s). These recreation areas would feature free-form resort style
swimming pools, pas, sun decking, shade arbors and restroom buildings and drinking
fountains. The project also features pedestrian pathways and active and passive
recreation areas. The project will therefore not be detrimental to the existing or future
uses permitted in the zone in which the use is located.
C. The site for the intended use 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.
This Planned Development District application proposes to provide specific
development standards for the project as well as a preliminary development plan as
provided for by Zoning Code Section 9403.00.Approval by the Planning Commission
and City Council of the preliminary development will constitute approval of the
Preliminary Planned Development District.

Resolution 20263
Page 3
Pursuant to the R-1-C zone, Section 92.01.01.D.10 of the Zoning Ordinance, in order
to encourage a more creative approach in the development of land and to allow for
' more usable open space areas, large scale residential developments may be
permitted on site of not less than four and one half acres of land. The land is required
to developed as an integrated) unit, conforming to density and all other property
development standards except that lot area, lot dimensions, and yards may be
modified to allow"cluster"and" ow"housing:provided the overall development equals
the general quality of development in this zone. A number of facts exist in support of
this application for PD-267, including the irregular crescent shape of the parcel in
question, the provisions for common area improvements with 6.6 acres of devoted to
open space and amenities, the private streets proposed as part of this project, and the
proposed traffic calming.
The proposed 20'parkway along Sunrise Way combine with the 15'minimum rear yard
setbacks will produce a building setback of 35'along Sunrise Way,which is consistent
with development in the area, most notably the Coyote Run Apartments.
A prohibition of two-story units both within 200 feet of the adjacent R-1 zone boundary
to the south and in locations visible from the exterior of the project, in consistent with the
provisions of the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. The 200' setback distance
is the standard unit of measurement required between 2 story buildings in higher
density zones, such as the R-2 zone and existing single story residences located in the
R-1-C zone. Therefore, the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
proposed uses, and the proposed project is within allowable density of the R-1-C zone.
d. 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 will contribute to improvement of the existing street system that
will serve the site, and with said improvements, the public street system will be
adequate to carry the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the proposed use.
e. The conditions to be imposed are deemed necessaryto protectthe public health,safety
and general welfare, of the existing neighborhood in which this project is situated.
The conditions imposed are necessary to bring the project into compliance with
applicable zoning, building, and other regulations to protect the public health, safety,
and general welfare of the existing neighborhood in which this project is located.
Section 3: Pursuant to 9.62.010 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code and Section 92.01.00
et. sec. of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council finds that:
a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and specific
plans.
The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the goals and objectives of the L-4
Low Density Residential,General Plan designation which governs the subject property
as well as all property adjacent to the subject site.
I SC3
Resolution 20263
Page 4
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are consistent with
the R-1-C zone in which the property is located.
The proposed project is consistent with existing development in the immediate vicinity ,
of the proposed project, particularly the existing single story residences and mobile
home park located to the south and the existing two-story multi family residential
development located directly to the west of the property.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The project site is level and each lot contains adequate developable building area.
There are no bodies of water, ravines,or significant topographic features on the subject
property.
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
City zoning criteria for the R-1-C and 0-5 zone encourage and allow for a more creative
approach in the development of land,which allows for more usable open space areas.
Pursuant to Section 92.01.00 of the Zoning Ordinance, large scale residential
developments may be permitted on sites of not less than four and one half acres of
land.The land is required to developed as an integrated unit,conforming to density and
all other property development standards except that lot area,lot dimensions,and yards
may be modified to allow"cluster'and"row'housing: provided the overall development
equals the general quality of development in this zone.
The proposed project will allowfor a housing opportunity which provides common open
space amenities, private street and smaller lot sizes.This type of housing product does
not currently exist in the community and will provide needed housing product within the
community.
The General Plan Designation of L4 permits establishes a threshold density of 3
dwelling units per acre and a maximum of 4 dwelling units per acre. The proposed
density of 3.9 dwelling units per acre is within the allowable range of density. Thus, the
site is physically suited for the proposed number of lots, and the density of the
subdivision is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed project which
incorporates a more creative approach in the development of land and allows for more
usable open space areas is consistent with the provisions of the zoning ordinance.
e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
The Initial Study prepared for the project determined that the project is adjacent to
existing developments to the west and south. Through the implementation of the
proposed mitigation measures any environmental impacts regarding animal or plant life
will be reduced to a level of less than significant. There are no bodies of water on the
subject property and therefore no fish will be disturbed.
Resolution 20263

f. The design of the subdivision or 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 design of the subdivision will not conflictwith easements for access through or use
of the property. A number of easements,transect the property; however,the proposed
subdivision will not interfere with these easements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City Council
hereby approves Case No. 5.0866-PD-267;the related architectural application; and Tentative
Tract Map 30054, subject to those conditions set forth in the attached Exhibit A, which are to
