THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1: The Conditional Use Permit process outlined in Section 94.02.00(B)(6) of the Zoning Code requires the City Council to make a number of findings for approval of the permit. The City Council finds: a. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized by the Zoning Ordinance. 000004 City Council Resolution September 5, 2007 Case No. 5.1158 CUP Page 2 of 4 Section 94.02.00 conditionally permits crematoriums to be located in any zone unless expressly prohibited by that zone. The project is located in the M-1 (N) zone which does not expressly prohibit crematoriums; therefore the use is authorized by the zoning Code within the M-1 (N) zone subject to a Conditional Use Permit. b. That the said 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 specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The use is necessary for the development of the community. Just as human crematoriums are needed, pet crematoriums are needed for residents who have particular concern for the way their pets are laid to rest. The project is in harmony with the objectives and polices of the General Plan, including General Plan Objective 3.30.a and General Plan Polices 3.30.5, 3.30.6, and 3.30.9. The project is located in the M-1 (N) zone, which is designed for clean and unobtrusive industrial and commercial uses. The project will not be intrusive to permitted uses in the M-1 (N) zone or in the area, as it will not produce odor, smoke, dust, heat or glare. c. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls, 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 site is adequate in shape and size to support the crematorium. The project does not include expansion of the existing building nor does it include exterior modifications. All activities will be performed inside the building and outdoor storage is not proposed. The suite that the use is proposed is large enough to accommodate the cremation system, a reception area, office area and restroom. d. 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 proposed use will not generate inordinate amounts of traffic. The site is located on a site that fronts on a Local Street (Camino Parocela) and side on a Collector Street (Vella Road). The project does not include substantial amounts of truck traffic or other bulk deliveries. Traffic generated by the use includes customers and employees (3 maximum employees, 1 full-time). The use is generally less intensive then other uses permitted under the M-1 zone. Therefore, streets and highways related to the project site are designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic anticipated by the use. 000005 City Council Resolution September 5, 2007 Case No. 5.1158 CUP Page 3 of 4 e. 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 use will be located in an existing building and no expansion of the building is requested. The applicant is proposing to install a Matthew Cremation Division Power-Pak Jr. pet cremation system. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit to the City Council for Mark Matthews of Wiefels & Son to operate a pet crematorium at 4515 Camino Parocela. 000012 Planning Commission Stsff Report August 8,2007 Case:5.1158 Page 2 of 8 BACKGROUND AND SETTING The pet crematorium would be located in a 1,280 square foot suite in an existing cinder block building located on the northwest corner of Camino Parocela and Vella Road_ The approximately 20,562 square foot project site lies on the northwest portion of the parcel. The front 300 square feet of the suite would be designated as a reception/office area with the remaining 815 square feet and 165 square foot mezzanine being utilized for cremation services. Access to the back of the building is taken via Vella Road where a twelve (12) foot roll-up door is located. The building contains four (4) suites with additional warehousing located in the rear of the site. The suite that the pet crematorium would be located in is currently used for storage. The remaining suites are occupied and include a training center, an air conditioning repair company, a health screening establishment and a cabinet workshop (which operates from the warehouse portion of the site). The project site is located in a largely commercial portion of the City. To the north lies a small church and deli. A general contractor and engineering firm is located to the east. To the south is a mortuary services, a chapel and a human crematoriums operated by the project applicant. The parcel to the west is an undeveloped residential parcel_ Table 1: Surrounding land uses, General Plan, Zoning Land Use General Plan zoning North Commercial IND M-1 N East Industrial IND M 1 N South Commercial IND M-1 N West Vacant IND R-1-C (N The pet crematorium is proposed to handle small to large sized pets (under 200 Ibs at 75 Ibs per hour). The applicant proposes to install a Matthews Cremation Division (no relation to the applicant) Power Pak Jr. pet cremation system. The unit processes material in the primary chamber at 1,2W F to 1, 5000 F and 1,400' F to 1,800' F in the secondary chamber (afterburner). This unit includes features that eliminate smoke and odor and automatically monitors and regulates stack emissions. Animal remains are generally returned to the pet owner. In the case that the owner does not request the remains, arrangements are made to deposit the remains in a pet cemetery or they may be scattered as directed by the pet owner. The applicant owns two (2) human crematoriums at 690 South Vella Road (south of the project site) and a review of Code Enforcement records did not find any violations from these facilities. 2 000013 Planning Commission Staff Report August 8 2007 Case:5.1158 Page 3 of 8 ANALYSIS General Plan Consistency The project is located within the IND (Business/Industrial) land use designation of the General Plan. The General Plan promotes industrial and commercial activities which do not disturb the resort-residential environment of the City. General Plan Policy 3.30.a promotes service industries that do not create smoke, odor or soot in a manner which might be obnoxious or offensive. The applicant is proposing to install a Power Pak Jr. cremation system. This system includes Smoke Buster 65, which eliminates smoke and odor through an intense afterburner process. General Plan Policy 3.30.5 requires unobtrusive operations which do not pose a danger to adjacent uses or the environment. The proposed cremation system is constructed in compliance with the standards of Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and Incineration Institute of America to ensure the safety of the unit. The unit includes ultraviolet flame detection and safety interlocks to further ensure safety. Additionally, specifications for the unit have been reviewed by the Building and Fire Departments, who did not identify any extraordinary safety concerns. The use does not pose an undue threat to the environment as well. The unit includes pollution and emission control systems and controls for smoke and odor. Operation of the unit is subject to permitting by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCQAMD) who sets specific operating conditions of approval and performs inspections to ensure that the use is conforming with the terms of the permit. General Plan Policy 3.30.6 allows for the service commercial uses, which is consistent with the applicant proposal for a pet crematorium. General Plan Policy 3.30.9 discourages outdoor storage. The applicant is not proposing any outdoor storage in conjunction with this use. After review of the General plan and the proposed use, Staff finds that the project is consistent with the intent of the General Plan. Zoning Consistency The proposed use is located within the M-1 (N) (Service/Manufacturing (Non-Suit Covenant)) zoning district. Pursuant to Section 92.17.00 (a) and (b) of the PSZC, the M-1 service/manufacturing zone is intended for commercial service uses that will not disrupt other uses in surrounding areas or disrupt the resort-residential environment of the City. Per Section 94.02.00 (A)(2)(d) of the PSZC, a crematorium may be conditionally permitted by the City Council if crematoriums are not expressly prohibited. Crematoriums are not expressly prohibited in the M-1 zone and therefore may be conditionally permitted by the City Council. The project site is also located in the "N" 3 • 000014 Planning Commission Staff Report August 8,2007 Case:5.1158 Page 4 of 8 noise impact and nonsuit covenant combining zone. This overlay is designated to protect new construction and sensitive receptors from impacts due to airport operation. The project will not require additional conditions due to the "N" overlay zone in that it involves no new construction and is not considered a sensitive receptor. (PSZC, Sec. 92.19.00) Parking The project is located on a site that is an existing non-conforming use in regards to parking. The site currently includes ten (10) standard parking spaces and no handicapped parking spaces. Under the current PSZC, the property is required to provide 28 parking spaces, as follows: Table 2: Existing Building - Required Parking Spaces Use Quantit Unit Divisor Required Spaces Office non-medical 4,800 s . ft. 200 24 Warehouse 3,060 sq. ft. 800 4 Total Spaces 28 In accordance with Section 93.06.00 (13)(3)(a), additional parking is not required if the building is not being expanded and therefore the applicant is not required to provide additional parking spaces. Section 93.06.00 (13)(3)(d) requires that when an existing use is replaced by another use, the new use must meet the intent of the current parking requirements. Under the current code, the applicant would be required to provide three (3) parking spaces, as follows: Table 3: Proposed Use - Required Parking Spaces Use* Quantity Unit Divisor Required Spaces Office non-medical 300 1 sq. ft. 200 1 Industrial 980 sq. ft- 500 2 Total Spaces 3 Staff believes that the use is compatible with the current parking arrangement and the intent of current parking regulations is met. The proposed use is a low traffic use with few employees, similar to the other uses in the building. Performance Standards The proposed use is subject to performance standards under Section 92.17.04 of the PSZC. Performance standards set specific requirements for the operation of uses within a zone that are to be abided by at all times. 000015 4 Planning Commission Staff Report August 8,2007 Case-5,1158 Page 5 of 8 The use does not require the storage of inflammable or explosive materials. Section 92.17.04 (A)(1) and section 92.17,04 (A)(2) of the PSZC specifically prohibits incineration- However, after Staff's review of the project and discussions with the Fire Department, it has been determined that cremation and incineration are different uses. Incineration involves the burning of materials, such as trash, medical waste and other substances. These substances have the potential for toxic chemical releases, explosions and other hazards. Cremation only involves the burning of remains, and therefore does not have the same hazards associated with it- The use is required to operate in a manner such that smoke, dust, heat and glare are not readily detectable on any boundary line per Section 92.17.04 (F) of the PSZC. The use would not emit dust or glare, in that the use is in an enclosed structure and operations will not take place outside. The unit would not exhaust smoke, due to built in controls designed to eliminate smoke. The unit would not produce excessive amounts of heat that will be detectable from the property line. The unit includes insulated brick and insulated block, constituting over twelve (12) inches of insulation for both chambers. Section 92.17.04 (F) of the PSZC prohibits the emission of obnoxious odors- The project would not emit obnoxious odors, as the cremation system is designed to eliminate odors. After review of the Zoning Code, Staff finds that the project is consistent with the provisions of the Zoning Code. Fire and Building Department Review The project was reviewed by the Fire Department and the Building Department. Fire noted that a 2A-10B:C fire extinguisher would be required in both the office and crematory areas of the suite- Fire also indicated that the unit would need to be installed according to manufacturer's recommendations. Staff received manufacturer's specifications for installation of the unit and has included the manufacturer's recommended installation requirements as conditions of approval. The recommended specifications make it easier for the unit to be serviced- Installation of the exhaust stack is also required to be installed in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. South Coast Air Quality Management District The applicant is required to obtain a Permit to Operate and Construct (Form 400-A) from SCAQMD. The permit includes conditions, including: That the afterburner operate at all times during the process • That the afterburner be kept at 1,5000 F • Limitations on pounds per day and/or pounds per month that may be processed 0000:>_0 5 Planning Commission Staff Report August 8,2007 Case:5.1158 Page 6 of 8 A condition of approval has been included to ensure that the applicant obtain any appropriate permits from SCAQMD. County of Riverside Environmental Health The applicant may be required to obtain permits from Environmental Health depending on the amounts of chemicals and/or compressed gas the operation may require. A condition of approval has been included requiring the applicant to obtain permits from Environmental Health, as needed. REQUIRED FINDINGS The Conditional Use Permit process outlined in Section 94.02.00 of the Zoning Code requires the Planning Commission to make a number of findings for approval of the permit. Those findings are analyzed by staff below: a. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized by the Zoning Ordinance. Section 94.02.00 conditionally permits crematoriums to be located in any zone unless expressly prohibited by that zone. The project is located in the M-1 (N) zone which does not expressly prohibit crematoriums; therefore the use is authorized by the zoning Code in the M-1 (N) zone subject to a Conditional Use Permit. b. That the said 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 specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. The use is necessary for the development of the community. Just as human crematoriums are needed, pet crematoriums are needed for residents who have particular concern for the way their pets are laid to rest. The project is in harmony with the objectives and polices of the General Plan, including General Plan Objective 3.30.a and General Plan Polices 3.30.5, 3.30.6, and 3.30.9.

The project will not be intrusive to permitted uses in the M-1 (N) zone or in the area, as it will not produce odor, smoke, dust, heat or glare. c. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls, 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 site is adequate in shape and size to support the crematorium. The project does not include expansion of the existing building nor does it include exterior 000017 6 7 Planning Commission Staff Report August 8,2007 Case:5.1158 Page 7 of 8 modifications. All activities will be performed inside the building and outdoor storage is not proposed. The suite that the use is proposed is large enough to accommodate the cremation system, a reception area, office area and restroom. d. 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 proposed use will not generate inordinate amounts of traffic. The site is located on a site that fronts on a Local Street (Camino Parocela) and side on a Collector Street (Vella Road). The project does not include substantial amounts of truck traffic or other bulk deliveries. Traffic generated by the use includes customers and employees (three (3) maximum employees, one (1) full-time). The use is generally less intensive then other uses permitted under the M-1 zone. Therefore, streets and highways related to the project site are designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic anticipated by the use. e. 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. All proposed conditions of approval are necessary to ensure compliance with the Zoning Code requirements and to ensure public health and safety. Adequate measures will be taken to make sure that the applicant complies with all the conditions of approval that addresses matters concerning public health, safety and general welfare. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The use has been determined to be Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 3 New Construction or Conversion of a Small Structure pursuant to Sections 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. The project involves the conversion of an existing small structure from one use to another. The suite that the project will take place in is under 10,000 square feet and does not involve the use of significant amounts of hazardous materials. NOTIFICATION A public hearing notice was advertised and was mailed to all property owners within 400 feet of the subject property/adjacent property owners.

WHEREAS, Mark Matthews of Wiefels & Son (Applicant) has filed an application with the City pursuant to Section 94.02.00 of the Zoning Code for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a pet crematorium; and WHEREAS, notice of public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Springs to consider Case No. 5.1158 CUP was given in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, on August 8, 2007, a public hearing on the application was held by the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and WHEREAS, the proposal is considered a "project" under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be Categorically Exempt as a Class 3 Conversion of a Small Structure pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission 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 PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1: The Conditional Use Permit process outlined in Section 94.02.00(B)(6) of the Zoning Code requires the Planning Commission to make a number of findings for approval of the permit. The Planning Commission finds: a. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is properly one which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized by the Zoning Ordinance. Section 94.02.00 conditionally permits crematoriums to be located in any zone unless expressly prohibited by that zone. The project is located in the M-1 (N) zone which does not expressly prohibit crematoriums; therefore the use is authorized by the Zoning Code within the M-1 (N) zone subject to a Conditional Use Permit. b. That the said 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 specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. 0 00 02 1 Planning Commission Resolution August 8, 2007 Case No, 5.1158 CUP Page 2 of 3 The use is necessary for the development of the community. Just as human crematoriums are needed, pet crematoriums are needed for residents who have particular concern for the way their pets are laid to rest. The project is in harmony with the objectives and polices of the General Plan, including General Plan Objective 3.30.a and General Plan Polices 3.30.5, 3.30.6, and 3.30.9. The project is located in the M-1 (N) zone, which is designed for clean and unobtrusive industrial and commercial uses. The project will not be intrusive to permitted uses in the M-1 (N) zone or in the area, as it will not produce odor, smoke, dust, heat or glare. c. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, including yards, setbacks, walls, 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 site is adequate in shape and size to support the crematorium. The project does not include expansion of the existing building nor does it include exterior modifications. All activities will be performed inside the building and outdoor storage is not proposed. The suite that the use is proposed is large enough to accommodate the cremation system, a reception area, office area and restroom. d, 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 proposed use will not generate inordinate amounts of traffic. The site is located on a site that fronts on a Local Street (Camino Parocela) and side on a Collector Street (Vella Road). The project does not include substantial amounts of truck traffic or other bulk deliveries. Traffic generated by the use includes customers and employees (3 maximum employees, 1 full-time). The use is generally less intensive then other uses permitted under the M-1 zone. Therefore, streets and highways related to the project site are designed and improved to carry the type and quantity of traffic anticipated by the use. e. 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. All proposed conditions of approval are necessary to ensure compliance with the Zoning Code requirements and to ensure public health and safety. Adequate measures will be taken to make sure that the applicant complies with all the conditions of approval that addresses matters concerning public health, safety and general welfare. 900022 Planning Commission Resolution August 8, 2007 Case No. 5,1158 CUP Page 3 of 3 SECTION 2: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning Commission recommends approval of Case No_ 5.1158 CUP to the City Council, subject to the recommended conditions contained in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and made a part of this resolution_ ADOPTED this St" day of August, 2007, AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: Craig A.
