THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS '
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to CEOA, the City Council finds that the current environmental
assessment for Case 6.1035 and TTM33282 adequately addresses the
general environmental setting of the proposed project. The City Council
further finds that no significant environmental impacts will result from this
project and therefore recommends adoption of a Negative Declaration for
the project.
SECTION 2: Pursuant to Section 94.07.00 the criteria for granting a Change of Zone,
the City Council finds:
a. That the proposed Change of Zone is in conformity with the General
Plan Map and Report.
The existing general plan designation of the subject property is L-6,
which allows for low density residential development. The proposed
zone change to R-1-D will allow for a consistency of permitted use with
the General Plan; the change of zone will be in conformity with the
General Plan Map.
b. That the subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the
proposed zone, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to
similar or related uses.
The property is mostly surrounded by existing residential development
to the west and some portions of the south. Furthermore a new
subdivision (TTM 30350) was recently approved for fifty seven single-
family residential lots, therefore the property will have related and
similar uses within close proximity. Access will be provided from
Verona Road and two public streets are being proposed for internal
circulation within the new subdivision. The size of the parcel is
approximately 6.1 acres; this is large enough to accommodate the
proposed subdivision.
c. That the proposed Change of Zone is necessary and proper at this
time, and is not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent properties or
residents.
As stated earlier, the General Plan designation of the property is L-6;
the proposed Change of Zone to R-1-D is necessary and proper to
allow a conformance with the General Plan. Most of the existing and
proposed land uses within the immediate area is residential, additional
single-family residential development will not be detrimental to the '
adjacent properties or residents.
