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 for the project
and all written and oral testimony presented.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to CEQA, the City Council finds that the current environmental
assessment for TTM 31980 adequately addresses the general environmental
setting of the proposed Project, its significant environmental impacts, and the
mitigation measures related to each significant environmental effect for the
proposed project. The City Council further 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.
Section 2: The City Council further finds that currently the Casey's June Beetle does not
have any formal Federal or State status but is considered a species of concern.
Historically the project site has been disturbed many times. It was developed as
a golf course in the mid 1940's. The Biltmore Hotel was built upon the site in
' 1957 and operated until 1988. The hotel remained unoccupied for several years
before its demolition in September 2003. During the time the hotel was
unoccupied the City staff in response to fire concerns conducted weed
abatement on site. The last weed program occurred in 2001. Therefore the
project site has been continuously occupied and disturbed for almost sixty (60)
years and determined to be have no environmental impact to the Casey's June
Beetle.
Section 3: Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 the City Council finds that the
proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and improvement are
compatible with the objectives, polices, and general land uses and program
provided in the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Section 4: Pursuant to Government Code Section 66474 (Subdivision Map Act), the City
Council finds that with the incorporation of those conditions attached in Exhibit A:
1. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan designation
for the site is H43/21, high density residential. The General Plan would allow 248
dwelling units on the project site. The applicant is proposing 152 units and therefore, is
well within the density parameters of the General Plan.
� t
2. The design of improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General
Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
Resolution 20909
Page 3 '
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 the City Council finds that the proposed
subdivision and the provisions for its design and improvement are compatible with the
objectives, polices, and general land uses and program provided in the City's General
Plan. All street, drainage, and utilities improvements are subject to the standards of the
General Plan and Conditions of Approval associated with TTM 31980.
Code relief to distance between buildings to be reduced from 15 feet to 9 feet minimum,
front yard setbacks from 25 feet to 15 feet minimum, rear yard setbacks from 15' to 8',
and side yard setbacks from 10' to 6' for the detached cluster residential component of
the project proposal. In the apartment component only the rear yard setback has been
reduced from 24' to 20'. The requirements of the general plan for high-density
residential projects include the following policies:
• a minimum of 45% of the lot area shall be maintained as on-site open
space/recreational area;
• incorporation of a minimum area of the required common open space at grade or
the level of the first habitable floor;
• design of common open space so that it is easily accessible and of sufficient size
to be usable by all residents;
• incorporation of architectural design details and elements which provide visual
character and interest, avoiding flat planar walls and "box-like" appearances; and
• protection of privacy and view for adjacent single-family structures with increased
setbacks to second-story mass.
The project as proposed incorporates all of the above general plan policy statements into the
site design. Therefore it is concluded that the relief to certain code standards will not be in
conflict with the overall intent of the General Plan.
• The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development contemplated by
the proposed subdivision.
The site is proposed for a 133-unit multi-family apartment complex consisting of 16
buildings comprised of 7 and 10 units types and 19 single-family detached cluster
residential units on 11.85 acres of land. Per Zoning Code the maximum allowable
density for the site for the R2 and R3 Zone designations would be 223'units. The
proposed 152 will be under both Zoning Ordinance and General Plan allowable density
levels. There will be no incompatibility issues as the project is surrounded by multi-
story condominiums and single-story single-family residences adjacent to the single-
family cluster residential component. The applicant proposes a medium density
residential development that will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
• The design of the proposed subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
All potential environmental impacts as a result of developing the subject property are
fully disclosed in the Environmental Assessment. The incorporation of the mitigation
measures as prescribed in the EA will ensure that any potentially significant impacts will
be reduced to a level of insignificance. Therefore, the design of the proposed
' Resolution 20909
Page 4
subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat.
• The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements must follow the conditions of
approval including, but not limited to, the application of the Uniform Building Code
Seismic Safety Standards, and the City of Palm Springs Fugitive Dust Control
Ordinance in order to ensure public health and safety.
• 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, property within
the proposed subdivision.
A General Plan Amendment to the Circulation Plan has been proposed under separate
resolution in order to relocate a four hundred and fifty (450)foot portion of Camino Real,
a collector status roadway immediately north and intersecting East Palm Canyon Drive.
This portion of Camino Real is indicated on the General Plan Circulation Map but has
not been constructed. The intent of the General Plan Amendment would be to relocate
said portion of Camino Real west three hundred and forty (340) feet to the west
' interception Indian Trail, proceeding north on Indian Trail one hundred and sixty-five
(165) feet to intercept the existing street of Camino Real as it continues in a northerly
direction. This amendment would allow the existing street configuration to remain.
Based upon an evaluation of existing development, traffic volume, and development
potential the proposed General Plan Amendment will result in adequate circulation to
handle future traffic volumes and therefore the proposed project would not conflict with
access through the project site.
Section 5: 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 for the underlying R-2 and R-3 zones, multi-family
residential development is a permitted use.
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 of the subdivision and tentative tract map of 11.85 acres
to provide for the construction of a 133-unit multi-family residential complex and a 19-
unit detached single-family cluster residential complex. The project will include a
central recreational area of pool, spa, cabanas, fitness center and management
building. Two additional pools with associated amenities are also provided. The
Resolution 20909
Page 5 '
project is gated and includes a screenwall placement with off-set planes. The single-
family and multi-family components of the project will not have interior access between
the two. Vehicular access will provided at two entryways, one from Deep Well Ranch
Road across from Suntan Lane for the single-family cluster residential component and
one from East Palm Canyon Drive across from Camino Real for the multi-family
residential component.
This multi-family residential project is in harmony with the objectives of the General
Plan, is desirable for the development of the community and is not detrimental to the
existing or future uses specifically permitted in the zone for which it is proposed.
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 project site is 11.85 acres and is of adequate size to accommodate said use.
Pursuant to the development standards for the R-2 and R-3, limited multi-family
residential and multiple-family residential and hotel zone standards, respectively, the
proposed project presents a more creative approach in the development of land and
creates a harmonious in-fill development in a single and multiple family neighborhood.
Density standards for numbers of dwelling units proposed is below those permitted by
the zoning designation. This Planned Development District intends to maintain good '
zoning practices while including certain desirable departures from the strict provisions
of the R-2 and R-3 zoning classifications.
Therefore, it is determined that the site for the intended use is adequate in size and
shape to accommodate said use.
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 necessary to protect the 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.
