Ordinance.
The proposed Planned Development District application for a 4-unit multi-family
residential complex is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the City of
Palm Springs General Plan and is not detrimental to existing uses specifically permitted
in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located.
b. The proposed Planned Development District is consistent with the applicable
general and specific plans.
The subject property is designated as L-2 (Very Low Density Residential Designation)
on the City's General Plan Land Use Map and R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Residential)
pursuant to the Zoning Map. The objective of the L-2 General Plan Designation is to
accommodate various types of low-density residential development, including large
estate lost and traditional single-family homes. The proposed use fits within the broad
range of uses typically allowed in the L-2 General Plan and R-2 Zoning Ordinance
' categories. The project is consistent with the General Plan.
C. The use applied for 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 Planned Development District will provide additional housing with in the
area and beautify the area by adding landscaping and other improvements along
Prescott Drive. The project is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the
City of Palm Springs General Plan and is not detrimental to existing uses specifically
permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located.

as L-2 (Very Low-Density Residential) pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Map. The
project design and improvements will be a beneficial improvement for the neighborhood
and will be compatible with the General Plan and with the existing land uses within the
vicinity.
e, The site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated by the
proposed Planned Development.
Specific development standards of the R-2 (Limited Multiple Family Residential)zone
such as setback, building heights and wall heights have met the zone requirement. The
proposed design complements the area and the proposed relief from the property
development standards is consistent with development patterns within the neighborhood.
This site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated by the proposed
Planned Development.
f. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development
contemplated by the proposed Planned Development.

The application proposes four (4) units which is allowed by right of zone. Therefore the
site is physically suitable for the proposed density.
g. 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 Planned Development fronts on a local street. To address future
cumulative traffic issues in the immediate area, the perimeter street will be required to be
dedicated and developed to the full ultimate half-street widths, consistent with the goals,
policies and objectives of the City's General Plan. The required dedication of right-of-way
and improvements will provide safety benefits to the property owners and will
aesthetically enhance the neighborhood.
h. The conditions to be imposed and shown on the approved site plan are deemed
necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare, including any ,
minor modifications of the zone's property development standards.
