Resolution No. 23727
Page 2
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. A Draft Focused EIR (DFEIR) (State Clearinghouse #2014091078)
has been completed in compliance with CEQA, 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 the City Council certifies
the Focused EIR for the project. The City Council has independently reviewed and
considered the information contained in the FEIR prior to its review of this Project and
the FEIR 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 Canyon South Specific Plan Area. The project will bring
revitalization to a parcel that has been vacant for decades. Additionally, the
proposed development is compatible with the character of the neighborhood and
surrounding development especially the quality of the residential component of
the Canyon South Specific Plan Area
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
streets, and drainage. Adequate access is proposed onto main the main street;
Bogert Trail. The size of the parcel is approximately 7.21 acres; relative to similar
developments within the City, the location will accommodate the proposed
planned residential development. The site layout will allow the maximizing of
view corridors for the project and its surroundings. Also, the Linea project through
the site layout relates appropriately with the existing adjacent residential
development. Sidewalks are not provided; wedge curbs will be installed instead.
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 similar to the existing development within the
Resolution No. 23727
Page 3
surrounding. The proposed district will not be detrimental to adjacent properties
or residents but will enhance the already established development to the east of
the site. Furthermore, the planned development district will modify height and
setback requirements in a manner that will not be detrimental to the existing land
uses in the immediate vicinity and the Monte Sereno development to the east of
the site.
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 Estate Residential and is within the
Canyon Park Specific Plan Area. Single-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 Canyon South
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 single-family homes. The proposed lot
sizes and dimensions are consistent with the R-1-B zoning district. The site slopes
gently to the south and can accommodate building pads, external and internal streets,
drainage, and all utilities. Adequate access is proposed from Bogert Trail. The proposed
project is in keeping with the original concept of the Canyon South 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 south onto the main street; Bogert Trail. Single-family
residential development exists in the immediate vicinity of the property; Monte Sereno
development is to the east of the site. Therefore, the entire area is planned for
residential development and this project fits within that scheme.
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause environmental damage or
substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitats.
In 2011, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) designated the Casey's
June Beetle as endangered species and established approximately 587 acres as the
critical habitat for the Casey's June Beetle. The proposed project's location falls within
the critical habitat and as such a Focused EIR (State Clearinghouse #2014091078) has
been prepared as an update to the previously certified EIR (SCH #91012026) when the
Specific Plan was adopted in 1994. A focused survey for Casey's June Beetle was
Resolution No. 23727
Page 4
conducted on the site in Spring 2014, and no evidence of the species was found. The
Focused EIR 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 each lot has necessary infrastructure to adequately serve the lots and all
proposed houses on the lots will be required to meet City of Palm Springs 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 perimeter easements in favor of the Desert Water Agency (DWA)
and Verizon on the subject property. The applicant has been working with DWA and
Verizon on the relocation of the easements. As of the writing of this report, staff has
been informed of a tentative agreement to relocate the easements into a private street.
SECTION 4. The City Council hereby certifies a Focused Environmental Impact
Report (FEIR) and directs staff to file the associated Notice of Determination (NOD)
SECTION 5. The City Council hereby approves Tentative Tract Map 36723 (TTM
36723), Planned Development District 371 (PDD371) and Major Architectural Approval
(3.3748-MAJ), subject to the conditions of approval attached as Exhibit A.
