DRIVE, ZONE C-1, SECTION 10.

a nine-unit bed and breakfast and 1542 square feet of retail space located at 803 North Palm
Canyon Drive, Zone C-1, Section 10; and
WHEREAS, notice of the public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs
to consider Case No. 5.0952 - PD-284, was given in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, on April 23, 2003, a public hearing on the application for Case 5.0952-PD-284 was
held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, notice of the public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs to consider
Case No. 5.0952 - PD-284, was given in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, on May 21, 2003, a public hearing on the application for Case 5.0952 - PD-284 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 is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA per
Section 15332 for In-Fill Development; 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 forthe project and all written
and oral testimony presented.
THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds that the project is categorically exempt
from environmental review per Section 15332 (In-fill Development), whereas the
project meets the conditions for in-fill development.
Section 2: Pursuant to Section 94.03.00 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 bed and breakfast is a permitted use in the C-1 zone, subject to the standards of the
R-3 zone. The Planned Development District is being applied for in this case in order to
/b /
Page 2
apply the C-1 and a portion of the C-B-D property development standards to the project.
The modifications being requested are in setbacks, open space, building height, parking
lot design dimensions, and wall height.
b. The use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in harmonywith
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 subject property has a General Plan designation of Resort Commercial. The project
is identified as being part of the"Gallery District"and the hotel and retail use is encouraged
in the Resort Commercial designation. In addition, General Plan Policy 3.24.3 states that
residential units should be located on the second level or towards the rear of the building.
The ground floor retail spaces with frontage on North Palm Canyon Drive are not proposed
for any food uses and would therefore be consistent with the district where specialty
boutiques and arts-related take precedence. The proposed project is in conformance with
the objectives of the General Plan with regards to the Resort Commercial designation.
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.
The size of the subject property is consistent with the surrounding neighbourhood and is
' adequate in size to accommodate the proposed land use. The zero lot line construction on
the side property lines is consistent with other buildings in the area and will be in
compliance with the Uniform Building Code. The applicant has obtained an easement for
landscape and drainage purposes on property directly to the south in order to provide
additional open space for the benefit of guest and the public. While the property is
substandard in width,the depth of the property is sufficientto provide adequate parking and
accommodate the proposed land uses.
The proposed building setbacks are consistent with what could be allowed in the C-1 zone
standards,with the exception of the front setback of 4 feet. Staff supports the reduced front
setback due to the fact that the storefronts will be transparent with the ends of each retail
unit setback 8 feet from the property line. The modification to open space is reasonable
due to the fact that the landscaped easement south of the subject property, private decks,
and patios were not included in the applicant's open space calculations. With the addition
of the unaccounted recreation space, the project would meet or exceed the 45% open
space requirement. Please refer to Table 4 for land use tabulations. The increase in
building height to 24.5 feet is consistent with surrounding development and will not be
intrusive to the street scape due to the fact that most of the building mass is located
towards the rear of the property. Despite the increase in building height to 24.5 feet, the
project is sensitive to residential development to the west due to a rear setback of at least
87 feet. In addition,the second story of the units with frontage on North Palm Canyon Drive
are 20 feet from the front property line, in conformance with the standards applied to
development in the C-B-D zone. Based on the R-3 standards,the property has a maximum
' allowable density of 24 units. The proposal is for 11 units, inclusive of the retail units and
1 manager's unit. The project is consistent with the General Plan designation of Resort
Commercial, which allows a maximum density of up to 43 units/net acre for hotels and
encourages residential units to be located on the second level or to the rear of the building.

The modifications to wall height are an integral part of the building design because the '
courtyard area is intended to be a private, secluded area. The most visible portion of the
project besides the store front elevation is the south elevation. The increased wall height
in this area is reasonable due to the proposed landscaping that will soften the height of the
wall and also creates a public amenity.
With regards to parking, the design dimensions for the new parking lot were modified in
terms of distance between nose to nose spaces. The spaces are required to be at least
19 feet long, however, staff supports the 4 foot planner between the existing and new
spaces because it would meet the intent of two 19 foot long nose-to-nose parking spaces.
Table 3 details the required and proposed off-street parking requirements. On-street
parking is also available along North Palm Canyon Drive, although not directly in front of
the proposed development, which has been red curbed.
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 applicant has obtained a shared access easement from the adjacent property owner
that will provide the main vehicular access to the property. Pedestrian access will be
provided off the sidewalk on North Palm Canyon Drive and also by a pedestrian path and
gate adjacent to the driveway leading to the new parking lot. North Palm Canyon Drive is
already improved to major thoroughfare standards and is capable of carrying the quantity
of traffic to be generated by the hotel/retail use. The shared access easement is also
improved with vertical curb and gutter and a 2-lane unstriped roadway. ,
e. 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 to, the application of the Uniform Building Code Seismic Safety
Standards, Palm Springs Municipal Code, and the City of Palm Springs Fugitive Dust
Control Ordinance.
