WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully reviewed and considered all of the
evidence presented in connection with the meeting on the project, including but not

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 the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The City
Council finds that with the incorporation of proposed mitigation measures, potentially
significant environmental impacts resulting from this project will be reduced to a level of
insignificance and therefore adopts the MND. The City Council has 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) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code,
the City Council makes the following findings:
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 and the Section 14 Specific Plan Area. The project will bring
revitalization to a parcel that has been undeveloped for decades. The quality of the
proposed residential development within that area of the Central Business District
section of the City will spur activities and bring life to the immediate surrounding that
has not experienced any new development as of late.
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 project site is relatively flat and can accommodate building pads, internal
street, and drainage. Adequate access is proposed onto main the main streets; South
Indian Canyon Drive and South Calle Encilia. The size of the parcel is approximately 1.8
acres; relative to similar developments within the City, the location will accommodate
the proposed planned residential development. Sidewalks are provided along South
Indian Canyon Drive and Calle Encilia.
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.
The proposed establishment of the planned development district is necessary to
provide an updated design concept befitting of an urbanized area and within the
downtown area of the City. The proposed district will not be detrimental to adjacent
properties or residents but will enhance the already established development to the
Resolution No. 23783
Page 3
north of the site. Furthermore, the planned development district will modify setback
requirements in a manner that will not be detrimental to the existing land uses in the
immediate vicinity and the downtown area.
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 General Plan designation of the project site is Central Business District (CBD) and
is within the Section 14 Specific Plan Area. Multi-family residential development in this
designation is permitted; as proposed, the gross density is consistent with the General
Plan. The proposed project will comply with the General Plan, and the Section 14
Specific Plan covering the site.
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 multi-family homes. The proposed lot
sizes and dimensions are evaluated against the R-4 zoning district. The site slopes
gently to the east and can accommodate building pads and internal street, drainage,
and all utilities. Adequate access is proposed from Calle Encilia and South Indian
Canyon Drive. The proposed project is in keeping with the requirements of the Section
14 Specific Plan and the Palm Springs Zoning Code. The site will provide a desirable
environment for its occupants.
C. The site is physically suited for this type of development.
The site slopes gently to the east onto Calle Encilia. The property is approximately 1.8
acres in size, given the proposed density, project design, size and scope of the
development, the site is physically suited for a 32-unit condominium complex and two
live-work units.
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
There are no known fish, wildlife habitats or other endangered species on the subject
site. A biological assessment prepared for the site did not find any habitats on the site.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) contains mitigation measures designed to
eliminate or reduce all potential environmental impacts to a level less than significant.
e. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
Storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water, streets and all utilities are readily available to the
site and all have capacity to accommodate the project. The subdivision has been
designed so that the condominium map will have necessary infrastructure to adequately
Resolution No. 23783
Page 4
serve the development and all proposed houses. Furthermore, as with all development
in the City, this project will be required to meet City of Palm Springs development
standards, therefore the project will not cause public health problems to the area or the
City as a whole.
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.
Currently, there are two easements in favor of the Southern California Edison (SCE)
and the Agua Caliente Electric line extension on the subject property. The applicant will
be working with the two agencies on the relocation of the easements.
SECTION 4. The City Council herby adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND), and directs staff to file the associated Notice of Determination (NOD).
SECTION 5. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the
foregoing, the City Council hereby adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND);
approves Planned Development District 376 and Tentative Tract Map 36815 for
condominium purposes for the development of a 32-unit condominium complex and 2
live-work units subject to the attached conditions of approval.
