THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS FINDS AND DETERMINES AS FOLLOWS: A. Palm Springs Modern Construction ("Applicant') filed an application pursuant to Palm Springs Zoning Code Section 94.03.00 (Planned Development District) seeking approval of a Planned Development District (Case 5.1395 PD-383) to conform to the General Plan land use designation of Tourist Resort Commercial to construct a sixty- four (64) unit condominium complex located at 2000 North Indian Canyon Drive (APN: 501-090-019) ('Project'). B. The Applicant submitted related Project applications, including a Major Architectural application (Case 3.3963 MAJ) to review proposed architecture pursuant to Section 94.04.00 of the Zoning Code; and a Tentative Tract Map application (Case TTM 37210) for condominium purposes for a sixty-four unit condominium complex. 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 January 11, 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 unanimously to recommend approval to the City Council of the Project. D. A notice of public hearing of the City Council of the City of Palm Springs, California to consider the above-mentioned applications was given in accordance with applicable law and on February 15, 2017, the City Council held a public hearing in accordance with applicable law. E. The City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented in connection with the Project, including but not limited to the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented and finds that the Project complies with the Resolution No. 24176 Page 2 requirements of Section 94.03.00 of the City's Zoning Code. The City Council makes the following findings based on specific evidence as described after each finding: a. The proposed Planned Development is consistent and in conformity with the General Plan pursuant to Sections 94.02.00 (A)(4) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code. The proposed Planned Development is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan which allows permanent residential development within the Tourist Resort Commercial designation upon approval of a PD. The General Plan allows a density of up to 30 dwelling units per acre, however the proposal is requesting less. A goal of the General Plan is to facilitate the production of quality housing on vacant and underutilized land that are complementary with surrounding uses. The project as proposed will revitalize a blighted site to be replaced with sixty-four (64) multi-family residential dwelling units consistent with the permitted uses and development standards of the R-3 zoning development standards. In addition, the project is compatible with the character of the neighborhood and surrounding condominium developments thus meeting the goal and finding. b. The subject property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed Planned Development District, in terms of access, size of parcel, relationship to similar or related uses, and other relevant considerations. The development of the site with a sixty-four (64) condominium complex on a 5.22-acre site serviced by existing infrastructure and utilities is a suitable rehabilitation of the property. The Planned Development District is a requirement of the Tourist Resort Commercial land use designation and will permit the site to develop consistent with surrounding parcels. The neighboring gated properties to the north and east are similar garden style projects consisting of one and two story buildings clustered in a similar way to preserve open space. The relatively flat lot located at the intersection of a major thoroughfare and secondary street is an appropriate location for the proposed development based upon the above analysis and the finding has been met. c. The proposed establishment of the Planned Development District is necessary and proper, and is not likely to be detrimental to adjacent property or residents. Resolution No. 24176 Page 3 The proposed establishment of the Planned Development District is necessary for the condominium project to be consistent with the requirements of the Tourist Resort Commercial General Plan Land Use designation. The proposed district will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or residents but will remove an existing vacant building and tennis club to be replaced with a residential use that is consistent with adjacent condominium projects found within the immediate site area. The PD does not seek relief from the development standards of the underlying R-3 zone and the development will be similar in mass and scale to adjacent properties. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS HEREBY RESOLVES: SECTION 1. CEQA. The Project is considered a "project' pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An IS/MND has been prepared for the Project that evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the Project. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information in the final IS/MND and has, by separate resolution, adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with CEQA. SECTION 2.
