TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 35507 FOR THE CREATION
OF THREE PARCELS, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST
CORNER OF GENE AUTRY TRAIL AND RAMON ROAD,
ZONE W-M-1, SECTION 20.
WHEREAS, D.R. West, LLC, "Applicant", has filed applications with the City
pursuant to Section 9.62 of the Municipal Code a Tentative Parcel Map (Case No. TPM
36507) to subdivide approximately 6.54 acres on the southeast corner of Gene Autry
Trail and Ramon Road, APN 680-170-044; and
WHEREAS, on June 13, 2007, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed
project and voted to recommend approval of the subdivision to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, notice of public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm
Springs to consider TPM 35507 was given in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, on July 25, 2007 a meeting was held by the City Council in
accordance with applicable law; and
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, all written and oral testimony presented.
THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council has reviewed this project under the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and determined that the
project had the potential for significant impacts, but that the impacts would
not be significant in this case because project modifications and mitigation
measures incorporated into the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), will
reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
Section 2: Pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council
finds:
a. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with all applicable
general and specific plans.
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the goals and
' objective of the General Plan designation of IND (Industrial) which
governs the subject property as well as all properties adjacent to the
i
Resolution No. 21999
Page 2
subject site. The applicant is proposing 3 commercial parcels on an
' approximately 6.54-acre parcel; this proposal is within the required lot
sizes of commercial shopping center uses.
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map
are consistent with the zone in which the property is located.
The proposed project is consistent with the zoning designation of M-1,
which allows the development of commercial/retail uses on each parcel at
the proposed location. The proposed subdivision and the provision for its
design and improvements comply with the applicable development
standards for streets and parcel design.
c. The site is physically suited for this type of development
The project site is relatively flat and each parcel contains adequate
developable building area. There are no known bodies of water, ravines,
or significant topographic features on the subject property.
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental
damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitat.
The Environmental Assessment prepared for the site determined that with
the implementation of proposed mitigation measures, any environmental
impacts affecting traffic, aesthetics, animals or plants will be mitigated to a
level of less than significant. As stated earlier, there are no known bodies
of water on the subject property and therefore no fish will be disturbed.
e. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
The design of the proposed subdivision includes the provision of public
water and sewer systems, a drainage design that protects other
commercial sites while providing water quality basins, and a street system
which is consistent with City Standards.
f. 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 a private easement across the subject property which connects
the property to Lowe's shopping center. The applicant is required to
vacate the easement and relocate the driveway access northerly of the
site. This will ensure a continued ease of circulation in and around the
' project site.

stormwater runoff from the Destination Ramon West project site. A
current survey shall be made of the existing off-site retention basin,
providing the City Engineer with as-built topographic evidence that the
retention basin storage volume is adequate. In the event the existing
storm drain system lacks adequate capacity, the applicant shall be
required to provide on-site retention of the excess volume of on-site
stormwater runoff, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. In the event
the existing off-site retention basin lacks adequate storage volume, the
applicant shall be required to enlarge the retention basin as necessary to

system (as may be required), as described in a final Hydrology Study,
prepared for this project. The Preliminary Hydrology Study prepared by
Feiro Engineering, Inc., shall be amended to include catch basin sizing,
storm drain pipe sizing, and underground retention system sizing
calculations (if required) and other specifications for construction of
required on-site storm drainage improvements.
105. This project proposes to use an existing private storm drain system

by the City Attorney, to determine that requisite authorization by Lowe's
HIW, Inc., to use the existing private storm drain system and off-site
retention basin has been provided through the CC&R's. If, in the opinion
of the City Attorney, the applicant has failed to obtain authorization to
use the existing private storm drain system across the Lowe's
commercial center or the off-site retention basin, the applicant shall be
required to revise the CC&R's to the City Attorney's satisfaction; or, the
applicant shall be required to retain 100% of the incremental increase of

Page 25
' for pre-treating stormwater runoff, may be required by regulations
imposed by the RWQCB. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to
design and install appropriate BMP's, in accordance with the NPDES
Permit, that effectively intercept and pre-treat stormwater runoff from the
project site, prior to release to the City's municipal separate storm sewer
system ("MS4"), to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the
RWQCB. If required, such measures shall be designed and installed on-
site; and provisions for perpetual maintenance of the measures shall be
provided to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, including provisions in
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R's) required for the
development (if any).

commercial center. The CC&R's shall adequately describe the off-site
retention basin, include maintenance provisions, and restrict its use in
perpetuity for private flood control and drainage purposes. Amended
CC&R's that affect the use of the off-site retention basin shall require
review and approval by the City Engineer.

Preservation Officer, Richard Begay (760-883-1940), or the Tribal
Archaeologist, Patty Tuck (760-883-1926) for any subsequent phases or
elements of construction that might require Tribal monitoring. If required,
it is the responsibility of the applicant to coordinate scheduling of Tribal
monitors during construction, and to arrange payment of any required
