A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DENYING THE GENERAL
PLAN AMENDMENT FOR A 34-LOT SUBDIVISION ON 20
GROSS ACRES LOCATED SOUTH OF RAMON ROAD AND
ABOUT 275 FEET WEST OF BELARDO ROAD.
WHEREAS, Palm Ridge LLC ("Applicant") has filed an application with the City
pursuant to Section 94.07.00 of the Zoning Ordinance for a General Plan Amendment,
Change of Zone and Section 9.63.180 of the Subdivision Ordinance to allow for the
development of a 34 lot subdivision; and
WHEREAS, notice of the public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm
Springs, California to consider Case Nos. GPA 5A 145, ZC 5.1145, and TTM 34938 was
given in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, on June 13, 2007, a public hearing on the application was held by
the Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, on June 27, 2007, a public hearing on the application 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 recommendation of the Planning Commission, the staff report, and all
written and oral testimony presents.
THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The General Plan Amendment of the Land Use Map from L 2 to L-4 at the
subject site would not be in the public interest nor promote good planning in that the
requested change would allow density that would exceed the established density of
existing development in the neighborhood. Further, the requested amendment is not
necessary because the proposed 34-lot Tentative Tract Map 34938 conforms to the
existing L-2 density. That is, TTM 34938 proposes 34 lots on 20 gross acres — 1.7 units
per acre — which is within the two units per acre limitation of the existing L-2
designation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the City
Council denies, General Plan Amendment 5.1145.
ADOPTED THIS 18T" DAY OF JULY, 2007.
