THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds that, with the incorporation of 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. The project is located
on a currently developed site and will have a de minimus impact on fish and wildlife.
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 Citys zoning ordinance.

Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, a proposed parking structure is allowed by right of zone '
in the C-B-D zone. There is an immediate need to provide parking in the downtown area
and the proposed structure is intended to provide customer and employee parking. The City
contracted Walker Parking Consultants to conduct a study of potential sites and locations for
parking structures of 3-4 levels before deciding on the current site. The intersection of
Baristo road and Indian Canyon Drive has been shown to be an appropriate area to handle
the anticipated traffic levels created by the parking structure. The location of entrances off
Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road is also consistent with General Plan Policy 3.16.10
which states, "...Primary vehicular access shall be from Indian Canyon Drive—"
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 is desirable in that it will improve the downtown parking situation and
will enhance the area in which the project is proposed. The project is consistent with the
objectives of General Plan Policies 3.14.1 and 3.14.2 which state that, "Downtown
merchants and property owners, and the City, are encouraged to coordinate the acquisition,
construction, and maintenance of public parking facilities." In addition, the General Plan
encourages common parking facilities over the provisions of on-site parking and to provide
sufficient parking to meet the needs of employee and visitor parking needs. The proposed
uses and improvements are necessary and desirable for the development of the community ,
and will provide services for travelers to and residents within the City. Public input during the
site selection process was generally favourable for the proposed location.
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.
The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed parking structure.
The proposed development and uses will not conflict with existing or future uses either
adjacent to the property or in the vicinity. While the structure has been designed to be
consistent with the City of Palm Springs design requirements, it does not comply with the
zoning ordinance in the areas of setbacks, open space, parking dimensions, and lighting.
The proposed setbacks will be 1 foot on Indian Canyon Drive, zero lot line on Baristo Road,
22 feet on the north side, and 5 feet on the south side. Open space requirements and
parking dimensions will require some flexibility due to the nature of parking structures
requiring a large number of spaces to fit into a confined environment. The difficulty in
complying with the zoning requirements is due to the attempt to construct a parking structure
following current design modules on a narrow, rectangular-shaped site area enveloped by
existing structures and streets. The proposed location for the parking structure has a width
of approximately 146 feet and a length of approximately 310 feet for an area of 1.04 acres_
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.
Indian Canyon Drive is a major thoroughfare and Baristo Road is a secondary thoroughfare. ,
Both roads are able to adequately accommodate vehicular trips generated by the project.

Resolution 20321
Page 3
The road section of Indian Canyon Drive will be constructed with the loss of one parking lane
while maintaining the current number of travel lanes. Mitigation measures related to traffic
have been included in the project's conditions of approval.
e. The conditions to be imposed are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and
general welfare, of the existing neighborhood in which this project is situated.
The proposed development and uses are located within the C-B-D (Central Business
District)Zone which allows automobile parking lots and structures as a main use by right of
zone. The proposal will include all improvements necessary to protect public health, safety,
and welfare including adequate driveways, sidewalks, interior and exterior lighting, fire
suppression, elevators, handicapped parking, and signage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City Council approves
the filing of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and hereby approves Case No. 5.0901-PD-275 subject
to the conditions set forth in the attached Exhibit A, which are to be satisfied prior to the issuance of
building permits unless otherwise specified.
ADOPTED this 1 st day of May, 2002.
