THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been completed in
compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The City Council found that with the incorporation of proposed
mitigation measures, potentially significant environmental impacts
resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance. The '
City Council independently reviewed and considered the information
contained in the MND prior to its review of this Project and the MND
reflects the City Council's independent judgment and analysis.
Section 2: Pursuant to Section 94.03.00 (E) and 94.02.00(B) of the Palm Springs
Zoning Code for a Planned Development not in lieu of a zone change, the
City Council makes the following findings:
a. That the use applied for at the location set forth in the application is
properly one for which a planned development district is authorized by this
Zoning Code.
The proposed planned development district includes residential and retail
commercial uses which are permitted uses in the underlying PD 113 and
R-2 zones.
b. That the 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 or to future uses
specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be
located.
Resolution No. 21886
' Page 3
The proposed planned development will establish a significant mixed use
project at the north end of the City. This is in conformance with Objective
3.1 of the General Plan Land Use Element, which states:
New land use development which is reflective of and complements the
overall pattern and character of existing uses, offers opportunities for the
intensification of key "targeted" sites and mitigates any adverse impacts.
The proposed project's two and three story mixed-use character will
contribute to the revitalization of the commercial project, establish a
principal activity center at the south side of Racquet Club Drive, between
North Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon Drives, provide a strong
residential base, and accommodate quality housing and fully separated
commercial activity-
C. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate such use, including yards, setbacks, walls or fences,
landscaping and other features required in order to adjust such use to
those existing or permitted future uses of land in the neighborhood.
' The project is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed
commercial and residential uses. All other standards, including open
space and parking are met by the project. The setbacks and common
open space help the project achieve the General Plan goals and
objectives stated herein, and are reduced in accordance with the
provisions of the Planned Development District (Section 94.03.00,C).
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 project site plan is surrounded on three sides by Major or Secondary
Thoroughfares, as designated on the General Plan. Vehicular access
points to the site are properly located and designed to provide safe and
efficient flow of the type and quantity of traffic to be generated by the
proposed use within and surrounding the site.
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.

Resolution No. 21886
Page 4 '
Conditions attached to and made a part of this resolution have been
developed to mitigate potential adverse project effects and will assure the
project contributes positively to the public health, safety and welfare of the
City.
Section 3: Pursuant to Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council
makes the following findings:
a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map is consistent with all applicable
general and specific plans.
The Tentative Tract Map will facilitate the sale of condominium
units within the project. The mixed-use project will introduce
permanent residents into the area, and provide new retail space.
b. The design and improvements of the proposed Tentative Tract Map
are consistent with the zone in which the property is located.
The project site is suitable for the development of condominium
homes and commercial establishment. The site is relatively flat and
can accommodate building pads, internal streets, and drainage. '
Adequate access is proposed onto two main streets, West Racquet
Club Road at Fluxus Drive, and North Palm Canyon Drive.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The site is flat and surrounded by existing development and City
streets. The construction of commercial and residential buildings on
the site is appropriate at this location.
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental
damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their
habitats.
The Tentative Tract Map and associated Planned Development
District have been reviewed under the California Environmental
Quality Act, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration is proposed.
Mitigation measures have been included which reduce potential
impacts to less than significant levels. The site has been fully
developed for many years, and does not include any natural habitat.
The project will therefore not damage or injure fish, wildlife or their
habitats. ,
Resolution No. 21886
' Page 5
e. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
The subdivision is designed to meet or exceed City standards. The
homes and commercial spaces will be required to meet or exceed
City building codes- The project will not cause public health problems.
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 are no known public easements or access across the subject
property, therefore the design of the subdivision will not conflict with
easements for access through or use of the property. Any utility
easements can be accommodated within the project design.
Section 4: The City Council adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Case
Number 5.1113-PD 329 and Tentative Tract Map 34829.
Section 5: The City Council approves Case Number 5.1113, Planned Development
' District 329 and Tentative Tract Map 34829, subject to the Conditions of
