side yard setbacks up to what is allowed for single family dwellings on Local and
Collector streets.

SC f FO&��P
Date: April 11, 2007
Case No.: 5-1151 - ZTA
Application Type: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
Location: (city-wide)
Applicant: The City of Palm Springs
From: Bryan Fernandez, Assistant Planner
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A zoning ordinance text amendment to modify the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance
Section 94,06.01 to allow front and side yard setbacks on Major and Secondary
thoroughfares to be reduced up to the same amount as front and side yard setbacks on
Local/Collector streets through the Administrative Minor Modification (AMM) process.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission recommends approval to the City Council a zoning
ordinance text amendment to modify Section 94.06.01(A)(5), as follows (added text in
bold):
"Reduction of yards (including the placement of antennas in required yards) and
distance between buildings, or increase in lot coverage, by not more than twenty (20)
percent of the requirement of the zone. Single-family dwellings on Major and
Secondary thoroughfares may be allowed a reduction of front and side yard up to
the amount allowed for single-family dwellings located on Local/Collector streets
in the same zone;"
PRIOR ACTIONS TAKEN ON THE PROJECT:
On March 7, 2007, the City Council initiated a Zone Text Amendment to Section
94.06.01(A)(5) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code regarding setbacks on Major and
Secondary thoroughfares.
Planning Commission Staff Report April 11, 2007
Case 5.1151 —Zoning Text Amendment Page 2 of 4
BACKGROUND AND SETTING:
The Zoning Code has been created with two mechanisms - the variance and the minor
modification - to address conditions that need relief from the standards set forth in the
ordinance. Both endeavor to ensure consistency of development in a particular zone,
protection of a standard of public health, and application of the ordinance such that it
does not grant special privilege to any particular property owner nor cause injury or
detriment to adjacent properties and their owners.
The City Council requested an amendment to the zoning Code regarding setback
modifications for single-family dwellings located on Major and Secondary
thoroughfares. The current wording of the AMM allows only limited relief for single
family dwellings on Major and Secondary thoroughfares whose front and side yard
setbacks are existing but non-conforming.
ANALYSIS:
As it stands, residential dwellings on Major thoroughfares are allowed front and side
yard reductions through the AMM to no less than 40 feet on all single-family zones and
lot location. On Secondary thoroughfares, under the same AMM process, front and
side yard reductions shall be no less than 20 feet depending on the zone and lot
location. In contrast, dwellings on Local and Collector streets may receive an AMM to
16 feet for front and side yard (on the side yards of lots zoned R-1-D, it may be reduced
to 12 feet).
The intent of this text amendment would be to establish wording that would grant
greater front and side yard reductions for single family dwellings located on Major and
Secondary thoroughfares.
Under the General Plan Policy Section 7.1.3, Major and Secondary thoroughfares fall
under the designation of "Arterial Streets and Highways'. To emphasize the distinction
from Local and Collector streets, the General Plan establishes the following standards
for Major and Secondary thoroughfares:
• Proscribes single-family residential access and on-street parking
• Road widths are approximately 33 percent to 50 percent wider than Local or
Collector streets.
• Minimum of four lanes and few cross streets to facilitate fast and heavy traffic.
Street hierarchy seems to play a part in establishing the current yard setbacks for
single-family residences. The chart below shows the relationship of larger yard
setbacks and the street type on which the lots front.

(6) Special conditions
(See Section 93.01.00)
These design standards appear to have been instituted to address:
• Noise abatement
• Aesthetic of wider streets
• Accommodation of greater amount of traffic
Front and side yard reductions under the current Administrative Minor Modification fail
to recognize the diversity of the adjacent physical space along major and secondary
roads. Without the new language, it is not possible for existing non-conforming
residential properties to enjoy the AMM privileges reserved for others in the city.
Staff conducted research throughout the city identifying areas where the setbacks of
single-family dwellings on major and secondary thoroughfares are less than what the
code requires. These areas of concern tend to have the General Plan designation of
Low-Density Residential and adjacent to major and secondary thoroughfares. On
Sunrise Way, north of Alejo Road, single family houses with yard setbacks of
approximately 25 feet abut one of the city's major thoroughfares. Another major
thoroughfare, Vista Chino, east of Sunrise Way, also have houses that have
approximately 25-30 feet setbacks. The houses on El Cielo Road, a secondary
Planning Commission Staff Report April 11, 2007
Case 5.1151 --Zoning Text Amendment Page 4 of 4
thoroughfare, between Ramon Road and Mesquite Avenue, typically have yard
setbacks found on local and collector streets. Consequently, these are the areas where
the proposed zoning text amendment will have the greatest impact.
Single-family dwellings that need relief may not experience the same traffic impacts as
anticipated by the General Plan. Staff believes that these areas of Major and
Secondary thoroughfares should have the same AMM privileges as dwelling units
located on Local/Collector streets on the same zone. Local/Collector streets are
intended to carry localized traffic and traffic load that are lighter than any other city
circulation designation including Major and Secondary thoroughfares.
Adopting the -modified -text amendment will give the City a discretionary role in
determining the appropriateness of greater front and side yard reductions for single
family dwellings on Major and Secondary thoroughfares. Since such applications are
subject to AMM findings, it is expected that the intended character of Major and
Secondary thoroughfares will be preserved.
