from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15332 (In-fill
Development).
Section 2: 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 3: 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 M15, medium density residential. The General Plan would allow 12 '
dwelling units on the project site. The applicant is proposing 7 units and therefore, is
well within the density parameters of the General Plan.
2. The design of improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General
Plan and any applicable Specific Plan.
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 31230.
Code relief to distance between buildings to be reduced from 15 feet to zero feet
minimum, side yard setbacks abutting any residential property from equal distance to
proposed height (25' 10") to 25 feet. The requirements of the general plan for medium-
density residential projects include the following policies:
• a minimum of 50% of the lot area shall be maintained as on-site open
space/recreational area;
• covered parking of at least one parking space per unit;
• inclusion of entries which convey a sense of individual identity for each unit at the
lowest habitable level facing a courtyard;
• incorporation of architectural design details and elements which provide visual '
character and interest, avoiding flat planar walls and "box-like' appearances; and
Resolution 21014
Page 3
' 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 7-unit cluster residential project consisting of two buildings on
.79 acres of land. Per Zoning Code the maximum allowable density for the site for the
R2 Zone designation would be 12 units. The proposed 7 units will be under both
Zoning Ordinance and General Plan allowable density levels. The applicant proposes a
medium density residential development that will be compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
a. 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.
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA review as an in-fill development. 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.
b. 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.
C. 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.
The review process has not ascertained any easements, acquired by the public at
large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
Section 4: 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 zones, a cluster 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.
Resolution 21014
Page 4 '
The proposed project consists of the subdivision and tentative tract map of .79 acres to
provide for the construction of a 7-unit cluster residential complex. The project will
include a central recreational area of pool and turfed passive recreation area. Each unit
incorporates it's own entry courtyard with spa, dining and barbeque areas. The project
is gated for pedestrian access. Vehicular access is limited to two bay parking drives,
one adjacent to Via Olivera Road and one adjacent to Zanjero Road.
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 .79 acres and is of adequate size to accommodate said use.
Pursuant to the development standards for the R-2, limited multi-family residential, 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 zoning classification.
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.
