WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence
presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including, but not limited to, the
staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the proposed project is categorically exempt as an infill project because it is less
than five acres, consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Regulations, is not a habitat
for endangered species, would not result in any significant environmental effects, and is '
serviced by all utilities and public services.
Section 2: The proposed project meets the required Conditional Use Permit findings set
forth in Section 94.02.00 of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, as follows:
1. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one for
which a conditional use permit is authorized by this .Zoning Code.
The R-3 zone authorizes incidental or accessory uses that are an integral part of a
hotel with less than 100 rooms subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
The Pali-House Hotel proposes 9 rooms with a bar and hospitality kitchen,
therefore, the proposed project meets the zoning standards to qualify for a
Conditional Use Permit for a bar and hospitality kitchen.
2. That the use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, is in
harmony with the various elements of 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 project site has a General Plan designation of H 43/30 (High Density
Residential) which allows, Hotels and similar types of resort housing...with a '
threshold of 30 and a maximum of 43 dwelling units/acre."The proposed project is
consistent with this objective because it proposes a bar and accessory kitchen use
Resolution No. 21680
Page 3 of 21
that is integrated within the Pali-House Hotel. The hotel was approved with a
density of approximately nine units/acre. Therefore, the project is consistent with
the objectives of the General Plan.
3. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, and other
features required in order to adjust such use to those existing or permitted future
uses of land in the neighborhood.
The proposed bar and hospitality kitchen will be part of the interior renovation to the
Frey building which is the hotel component. The renovated building will comply with
the development standards of the R-3 zone with respect to parking, building height,
and setbacks. Therefore, the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the proposed accessory uses.
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 subject property is surrounded by streets on three sides with Cahuilla Road to
the west, Belardo Road to the east, and Baristo Road to the south. All but Baristo
are classified as a collector streets with Baristo classified as a secondary
thoroughfare on the General Plan Circulation Map. The traffic anticipated to be
generated by the mixed-use proposal is not anticipated to exceed the capacity of
the surrounding streets. It is not expected that the bar and kitchen accessory uses
will generate enough additional trips to constitute a significant impact to traffic-
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 modification of the zone's property development standards.
The proposed project is an adaptive re-use and reconstruction of a pre-existing
structure with accessory uses allowed with a Conditional Use Permit. Conditions of
approval are recommended by staff and adopted by Council in order to regulate the
operation of the bar and hospitality kitchen. These are generally standard
conditions of approval that are intended to condition hours of operation and days
per week which minimize impacts that the accessory uses may have on the
surrounding neighborhood.
Section 3: The proposed project meets the findings set forth in Section 9.62.020 of the
Municipal Code (Condominium conversion):
' 'A tentative map, parcel map or final map involving prospective Conversion of
one or more existing structures or parcels into a condominium, stock
cooperative, or any other form of community ownership, shall be approved
only if the proposed condominium use of the property will be in conformity
Resolution No. 21680
Page 4 of 21
with the general plan and such conversion conforms to any other '
requirements or restrictions which may be adopted by the city council by
ordinance dealing with the conversion of existing structures or parcels of land
from rental units to community ownership; and further, only if any structure,
parcel or design, if newly constructed as of the date of tentative map
approval, could be lawfully constructed in accordance with the applicable
zoning regulations, building codes and fire safety codes. A tentative map
shall be required for all conversions including those of fewer than five units or
parcels except for exceptions and exclusions set forth in the State
Subdivision Map Act." (Ord. 1620 § 3, 2002: Ord. 1410 § 7, 1992: Ord. 1145
§ 1, 1981: Ord. 1125 § 2 (part), 1981)
A conversion from hotel use to condominium use would require that the property comply
with all of the development standards for the R-3 Zone and that the conversion comply
with the General Plan. The condominium component has been analyzed using both the
General Plan policies and objectives and the R-3 development standards outlined in the
aforementioned table and are found to be compliant because there are no departures from
the requirements and policies. Conditions of Approval are recommended to ensure the
project will be constructed in accordance with all codes and regulations.
Section 4: The following findings are required for the proposed subdivision pursuant to
Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act. A discussion of the project follows: '
a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable general and
specific plans.
The proposed project is consistent with the basic H43/30 General Plan designation
as a hotel and high-density residential and resort residential. The proposed density
of 9 hotel units and 34 residential dwelling units per acre, including the lots and
common area, is within the maximum allowance of 43 hotel units and 30 residential
units per acre. Finally, 71% percent of the commercial area and 57% of the
residential areas are maintained as open space or private recreational area per
Policy 3.8.1 requirement for a minimum of 45% open space.
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map are consistent
with the zone in which the property is located.
The proposed project design is generally consistent with the stated purpose of
promoting and protecting public health, safety, and welfare, and providing for
comprehensive and orderly planned use of land resources per Section 91.00.00 of
the Zoning Code, because the proposal is an adaptive re-use of an existing site
from hotel to condominiums, adding a bar / kitchen within the hotel, the restoration
of an Albert Frey building and courtyard bungalows, and the demolition of other
existing buildings to construct two story condominium units. The completed project ,
will consist of a nine-room hotel with a bar / hospitality kitchen, both as accessory
Resolution No. 21680
Page 5 of 21
uses to the hotel and thirty-four residential condominium units consistent with the
development standards of the R-3 zone.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The project site is generally flat with a slight east-west slope, and is located in an
area containing urban services, utilities, and streets.
d. The site is physically suited for the proposed density of development.
The proposed 2.13-acre project site could accommodate an additional 15 residential
or an additional 11 commercial units while maintaining the requirement for open
space, therefore as proposed is compliant with the proposed density.
e. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
The site has been previously developed and is surrounded by urban development for
over sixty years. There are no indigenous plant species or endangered wildlife
associates with this site.
f. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
The design of the proposed hotel / residential subdivision includes the provision of
public water and sewer systems, and an internal, private street system that provides
an orderly system of ordinary and emergency access to the project.
g. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the
proposed subdivision.
There is no known public access across the subject property; therefore, the design of
the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through or use of the property.
Any utility easements can be accommodated within the project design.
Section 5: Pursuant to Section 8.05.170 of the City's Municipal Code Stay of Demolition:
`At any time after the initiation of proceedings for designation of an historic site or district,
the historic site preservation board may, upon its own motion or upon the application of
any interested person, issue an order staying any proposed or threatened demolition or
alteration of the exterior of any structure within or upon such proposed site. Such stay
order shall be effective for no longer than one hundred twenty days, and is intended to
afford time for necessary studies, hearings and determination whether such site should be
designated as an historic site. Such stay order may be extended once for a period not to
exceed sixty days. (Ord. 1140 § I (part), 1981. "
