which a Planned Development District is authorized by the City's Zoning
Ordinance.
PD-301 is being proposed, pursuant to the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance,
Section 94.03.00. It is the intent of this district to insure compliance with the
general plan while allowing flexibility in the strict provisions of the zoning
classification. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan in terms
of density and land use and is therefore consistent with the City's Zoning
Ordinance.
2. The use 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 project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan
designation for the site is Density Controlled Low Density Residential
Development, Six (6) Units Per Acre (CDL-6). This designation provides for
various types of affordable housing, including traditional single-family structures
at a threshold development of three (3) and a maximum of six (6) single-family
dwelling units per acres. Development not qualifying as affordable housing is
' limited to a maximum of four (4) units per acre. The proposed project consists
of single-family detached homes with an overall density of 3.41 units per acre
and therefore is within the density parameters of the General Plan.

3. 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 property is a vacant, approximately 20 (gross) acre site. It is within a
residential area and is surrounded by residential development and vacant land.
Although a PD is proposed in order to provide for a slight reduction in lot size,
lot dimensions and setbacks, it will be compatible with the surrounding area
and is suitable for the site. All street, drainage, and utilities improvements are
subject to the standards of the General Plan and Conditions of Approval
associated with TTM 32160.
4. 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 project site is surrounded by the following roads: Francis Drive to the
north; Sunrise Way to the east; Racquet Club Drive to the south and Paseo De
Anza to the west. One point of access is proposed on Paseo De Anza, and
there will be no access proposed on Sunrise Way. All required off-site public
and on-site private streets will be designed in accordance with City design
standards and as required by the City Engineer. The developer shall be
responsible for 100% of the cost for construction of public street improvements
consisting of landscape and sidewalks, which will be constructed in conjunction
with the project.
5. 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.
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.
1. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with applicable general and specific
plans.
The General Plan designation for the site is Density Controlled Low Density
Residential Development (CDL-6), Six (6) Units Per Acre. This designation
provides for various types of affordable housing, including traditional single- ,
family structures at a threshold development of three (3) and a maximum of six
(6) single-family dwelling units per acres. Development not qualifying as
Resolution 21101
Page 4
affordable housing is limited to a maximum of four (4) units per acre. The
proposed project consists of single-family detached homes with an overall
density of 3.41 units per acre and therefore is 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, policies, and general land uses and program
provided in the General Plan. All street, drainage, and utilities improvements
are subject to the standards of the General Plan and Conditions of Approval
associated with TTM 32160,
3. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development
contemplated by the proposed subdivision.

lot dimensions and setbacks, it will be compatible with the surrounding area
and is suitable for the site. All street, drainage, and utilities improvements are
subject to the standards of the General Plan and Conditions of Approval
associated with TTM 32160.
4. 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.
An Initial Study has been prepared for this project and indicates that there is no
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
Hence, it is recommended that a Negative Declaration be adopted for the
project. A Biological Assessment and Impact Analysis was also prepared and
found that the site has been previously disturbed by human activities and that it
is an "ecological island" without attachment or corridor connecting it with any
other natural community. Therefore it is determined that the proposed
subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or injury.
5. 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

property within the proposed subdivision.
One point of access is proposed on Paseo De Anza, and there will be no
access proposed on Sunrise Way providing internal circulation for the project
which will be privately maintained.
