THE CITY COUNCIL FINDS AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS:
A. Summit Land Partners, LLC, on behalf of EHOF Canyon View, LLC ("Applicant"),
filed an application pursuant to Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC) Chapter 94.07.00
(Zone Map Change/Change of Zone) and Section 94.03.00 (Planned Development
District) seeking approval of a Planned Development District in lieu of a Change of Zone
(Case 5.1384 — PD 381) to construct an 80-lot single-family development, private
streets, and common open space on a 13.25-acre parcel located at the southwest
corner of East Palm Canyon Drive and Matthew Drive (APN Nos. 681-170-038 and
681-170-039) ("Project').
B. The Applicant submitted related Project applications, including a General Plan
Amendment (Case 5.1384 GPA) to change the land use designation from MU (Mixed-
Use/Multi-Use) to MDR (Medium Density Residential); a Major Architectural Application
(Case 3.3902 MAJ) to review the proposed site plan and project architecture pursuant
to PSZC Section 94.04.00; and a Vesting Tentative Tract Map application
(Case VTTM 36969) to subdivide the Project site into 80 residential lots, private streets,
and common open space.
C. A notice of a public hearing of the Planning Commission of the City of Palm
Springs, California, to consider the above-mentioned applications was given in
accordance with applicable law, and on May 24, 2017, the Planning Commission
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, and voted 3 to 2 to deny the Project.

decision to deny the Project, in accordance with the procedures in Chapter 2.05 of the
Palm Springs Municipal Code (PSMC).
E. A notice of a public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs,
California, to consider an appeal of the Project including Case Nos. 5.1384 PD-
381/GPA, 3.3902 MAJ, and VTTM 36969, was given in accordance with applicable law

F. On July 5, 2017, a public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs,

Ordinance No. 1929
Page 2
G. A Planned Development District in lieu of a Change of Zone is required to be
adopted by ordinance as provided in the City's Municipal Code.
H. The City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence
presented in connection with the meetings on the Project, including but not limited to the
staff report, the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), and all written
and oral testimony presented, and finds that the Project complies with the requirements
of PSZC Section 94.07.00. The City Council makes the following specific findings
based on specific evidence as described after each finding:
1. The proposed change of zone is in conformity with the general plan map
and report.
The applicant has submitted a General Plan Amendment application to change
the land use designation from MU (Mixed-Use/Multi-Use) to MDR (Medium
Density Residential). At 6.1 dwelling units per acre, the proposed planned
development is consistent with the allowable density range of the MDR land use
designation, and the single-family use is consistent with the uses allowed under
the land use designation.
2. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed
zone, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or related uses,
and other considerations deemed relevant by the commission and council.
The subject property is suitable for residential development, as there are existing
residential developments to the west and the north of the site, and the
undeveloped parcel south of the site is also designated for residential
development. The density of the proposed development is consistent with the
General Plan designation for the site. While the parcel fronts on a Major
Thoroughfare (East Palm Canyon), there is a flood channel and landscape buffer
that provides adequate separation from the roadway for the proposed residential
use. The parcel is bounded by streets on all sides, providing adequate access
for the development without impacting levels of service. A shopping center is
located immediately east of the site, which will provide services for the new
residents within walking distance of the site.
3. The proposed change of zone is necessary and proper at this time, and is
not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent property or residents.
The proposed planned development is generally consistent with other residential
development in the immediate area, and will not be detrimental to the
development of the vacant parcels to the south and west of the site. The density
of the proposed development will generate less traffic than what could be
permitted under the existing R-3 zoning, further reducing the impacts of the
proposed change of zone.
